7 Ah, yes the concept is reasonable. I would think that
8 working with smaller distros/elinux folks, maybe
9 those that have sprung up from LFS, would be a better fit
10 to build momentum for this idea? Then offer it to some
11 'more visable' place like sourceforge (whatever) to use with
12 a wider audience. Maybe build a team of developers using the
13 system?

18 The devs around Gentoo (particularly embedded) seem to be
19 an autonomous lot with ideas and aspirations of their
20 own..... indeed, I think that autonomy is what drives
21 many groups to work as they deem best for their flock.....
