Mel - thanks for this delightful and thoughtful post. I agree with
most of the points you and your aunt raise.
Ben says, about 'Friendly' and 'Consistent':
These two things sound pretty much the same to me.

Hi all,
Let me rephrase again, to make things clear. I'd love to hear an
official answer on this. Soon.
Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs
distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?

Sebastian Dziallas has asked for clarity on how the SoaS distribution

I think you're right on the money.
I can understand why a teacher may not be interested in this discussion.
