Are you really this blind?
Assume there were 100 sparc supporting distributions. What scales
better? Having me on 100 fucking mailing lists looking for things or
having those sparc dist maintainers contact me or this mailing list
when something specific comes to their attention?
You tell me.

Ubuntu did. And both the Fedora and Ubuntu sparc folks sit on
a sparc developer IRC channel and have direct access to me 24 hours
a day if they want to ask something or get something tested.
You're being dense and bringing up scarecrows to dismiss my
fundamental argument. Which is that it doesn't make sense, nor scale,
for me to follow what ever dist in the world does with my work.
