Yes, that makes sense. Sebastian, if it were made a project would that clear up your doubts? This isn't giving SoaS any special treatment -- any project that comes close to the calibre of soas is obviously candidate to become recognised as an official project. > Also discussing like Sean has made the possibility of an hypothetical > switch to another distro is very good I think.

If another distro project comes along, I feel that it should pick its own name. And is the name really that important? As an example, the existing OLPC distros never really had a name. I call them e.g. "OLPC OS 8.2.0" but there doesn't seem to be any consensus, and it hasn't been a hinderance in adoption. The users don't really get to see the bits that are underneath, so they only refer to "Sugar" anyway.
