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

pfsense, m0n0wall, IPCop, .....


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