OK.  We just have a terminology problem on the definition of
"distribution".  Is Fedora 11 KDE Desktop Edition "a different
distribution" from Fedora 11, or is it "the same distribution"?  Is
LUbuntu (LXDE Ubuntu) a different distribution from standard Ubuntu?  The
answer doesn't matter; it's just a definitions problem.

Having an official "Fedora 12 Sugar Desktop Edition", making Sugar a
first-class alternative to KDE and Gnome in Fedora, would be a great
thing, and I suspect it would satisfy most of Philippe's concerns.
