This part is especially interesting:

"In the spirit of open source, we are offering Ubuntu or any other
distro that you would like to see. If you want a distro that we don't
already list, please email us at  [email protected] and we'll
see what we can do to add your distro to the list."

What makes it work is that they evacuate our problem of multiple stick
vendors; much easier for them to do QC on a single stick make and
model - even if the manufacturer makes a running change, if they work
closely together they can test a new model.

Karlie at on-disk.com has been offering the SoaS beta basically at
cost, I think getting SoaS listed with such suppliers (perhaps in
branded/nonbranded variants) is an excellent approach.
