I don't mind Metadistros popularity by itself, but only because I
think that the concept being developed in metadistros is just the way
should be done in Debian. We should provide a basis on which people
can build distributions that fit their very partical needs.
I like the name, Metadistros, because it says what it is. After all,
Knoppix, Flonix, Morphix, ... are no more than metadristos based
distributions, though we've started the house by the roof in some
aspects.

Yes, that's just what intended. Having a nice set of tools in Debian
for easily building your own distribution. Based on that, the other
projects can focus on what they really want: satisfying their
users/clients needs. Of course they will always welcome on helping
improving the base system or the loader in Debian :-)
I'd like to see Sean's TODO list soon, so things can start being
integrated in Debian. After starting doing this, I think that opening
a Debian subproject for this will be important.
BTW, metadistros scripts have been worked a bit more lately and some
of the include now some comments in English.
Cheers,
