Hi,

I agree with both your points here. It would be important to support
more distributions and someone else needs to step in for that to be
possible.

To facilitate this, I'm streamlining a bit the process of adding a
distribution and documenting it. I will post a link to the docs as
soon as I have it.

I'm also be available to help out whoever is interested in
contributing support for a new distribution.
