Shipping the BBB rev C with Debian starts to set Debian as the defacto standard.
1. Would it be possible/reasonable to suggest that other BeagleBone

My concern is that with out clear community consensus, the BBB faces
unnecessary fragmentation which would reduce that value of the project

I'd say that your first sentence above pretty much covers all your
listed points. Robert has done an excellent job of creating an easy way
for users to use Debian. Now that rev. C ships with a Debian install
seems to me the path is clear.
I've looked into Angstrom in the past, seems to be a dying project
IMNSHO. The website has only recently been brought back online and much
of it is dead links.
Robert probably said it best recently, Linux is Linux. If I had a dime
for every time I've said that to people I've mentored I'd be a much
wealthier man. Nearly all have come back to where I started them,
namely Debian. They wander and stumble around because distro x supports
this piece of hardware, or I can't do this on distro y. Once they pass a
point on the learning curve they start to see the light.
Your last sentence pretty much describes the Linux community in
general. Many debate for the one core distro/desktop/browser/whatever.
Human nature such as it is will never allow a consensus. In the end
it's about a users choice....
My 2cents or so.
