Well, the whole purpose for Sweets is to avoid situation when people
need to install the whole GNU/Linux distribution only to try/use/code
Sugar. Becuase it is ridiculous overkill:

* to change your favorite distro only for Sugar purpose,
* Sugar Shell is only 5, mostly, Python based projects,
* mostly, it is possible to handle a couple of non-Python based rependencies
  in your current distro.

The sumary :)

* do not switch distro to use sugar,
* let's improve Sugar (maybe w/ Sweets, maybe w/ native packages in your
  favorite distro)
