I'm genuinely struggling to see how a Sumo distribution ever comes

Actually, sumo distributions *have* been created; it's just that
there are so *many* of them:
* Linux distributions
* BSD & Mac "ports" systems
* ActivePython, the Enthought Distribution, etc.
* certain distutils extensions that I shall not name
When the idea of "sumo" distributions were first being batted around
(10-12 years ago?), I'm not sure even *distutils* existed yet, let
alone any of this other stuff. I mean, yeah, the port systems and
distros existed, but their coverage wasn't nearly as good as it is today.
