Well, think ahead to when potato is the stable debian. Then think about all
the corel linux users who might want to update to that..
We should eventually test this before we release

It wouldn't be, if corel hadn't done stupid things with kde-corel.

Another possible reason:
Slink is too old! (As far as I know, it doesn't support my video card well
or at all - it's a TNT2)
Potato is a pain in the butt to install over a modem!
So... for me at least, it makes a lot of sense to install a Corel Linux system,
then just install extra packages
Why would you want to upgrade from corel linux to potato ??
IMHO if you want a corel linux feature just install potato or upgrade
to potato and add the interesting package.

For such reasons, Corel has a current XFree86, AFAIK.

I've heard several people ask if this is possible. It is, but it's not
exactly clean. The first problem I ran into is that /etc/syslogd.conf is in
kde-corel, in conflict with the sysklogd package. You have to turn on
force-overwrites to get past that, since corel didn't make the packages
conflict.

Next the cron upgrade failed with an odd error about being unable
to lock /var/run/cron.pid. Manually killing the dron daemon allowed it to
proceed. I don't know if this problem was corel-specific or not.
It's not.. Happened to me for
