Antonio put a lot of work into our new toolchain, already, so I think we need to ask him if he thinks that we can handle that. Having your own base gives some more control, but it's true we need people that are able to control it. Also we don't have unlimited hardware access, so we can't check if foresight will probably run everywhere. I think it's a matter of people stepping up, willing to learn (having the time to do so too) and maybe antonio explaining a lot if questions come up (and they will come up). I myself would like fl being not based on anything and maybe becoming the base of spinoffs itself, but we have limited ressources and need to look how much we can handle. We started as a distro that had latest gnome at the day it was released (not that it was important to me ;)) and we had rolling releases. We sorta lost both of that and need to get that back. We need to start rolling again. As you see I don't have a too strong opinion there, therefore I stop talking now.
