Just personal preference, but I would prefer to keep working in a
non-chrooted environment. One less layer, one less thing to go wrong
or offer some kind of irritation. Of course it is up to you if you
want to support that, but I think it has value as it is much closer to
the environment that Sugar will be deployed in. I would have no
problem with you picking a lone distro/version where this works,
perhaps matching what is run as a chroot on the other distros, i.e. in
this case you could say "OK, no chroot, but only if you're running
F19"
