I think that this only matters if you have someone who is using Sugar already and you are wanting to make the best Sugar distro. However, there is not a large installed base of Sugar users, so I think that having Sugar available as an option for people to run who are already running Android (substatute any 'poor fit' linux system here) will be a win as it gives people who are already running that system the ability to try Sugar and stick to it if they like it.
