I would like to see more libre distros, with different specialist uses in mind. For example, there is the GOLD project I have proposed for a libre distro specifically tailored for the needs of gamers. I understand that there is a trade-off involved, more distros means more work to be done, usually by volunteers. But it also means more users getting their needs met by libre distros, and thus using and valuing them, and maybe donating time/ money to help them.

If there are any ways to simplify the work and infrastructure involved in running a distro, and make it easier for us mere mortals to help out, that would be great for the whole GNU-Linux world. Imagine if we could get to the point where one person, with intermediate GNU-Linux skills, could maintain a device-specific distro for a device they own!
