Like I said its not that it could never happen just that its not been discussed at all. so requesting that distros adopt it is a bit harsh and unrealistic. I guess i need to go find and read the existing documents on what exactly is proposed and how it is intended to work. Its not been thought about in the wider community, I suspect its not been thought about in other distros also. I am open to being wrong.
