Wolfgang and Kurt are planning on actually having *users* of their LiveCDs, schools using them to convert their computer labs into Sugar environments, and as such have an incentive to work and maintain their approach. Because they are using official images as their starting point it should be pretty easy to maintain (just download the latest stable version and wrap it). I'd be happy to see a second, Pilgrim-based LiveCD with a maintainer, as it might be useful to build developer-focussed systems and the like; but I still want to see the LiveBackup version (with its maintainers) get a place to distribute and develop their approach.
