One distribution to cater to every need might turn out to be a mega
monolith -- just as the  proprietary group tend to do: even if you want
only two tasks to be done, they are bundled with 200 other things. this
leads to increase in cost, up/run time, etc.

of course, one mega repository of the distribution with structured
interfaces can go a great way. the issues there will be how to comfortably
download, customise and bundle packages for the specific user group. an
average user cannot do this, and this might be an opportunity for
intermediate/expert FOSS members to offers their services. such
intermediaries can take it from the global repositories!
