I suspect the idea/resolution to form a merged distribution is/was a
joke. Formalized co-operation between those distros is serious:-
http://fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/distro_collaboration
I suspect you'll find that's where the prank originated from. (beer is
good!)
Canterbury Tales anyone? Or maybe Canterbury University, NZ - is that
Belgian beer (JM) ?? ;-p
So yes - there is/are plans to share ideas (not reinvent the wheel) and
collaborate - debian (or any of the other distros mentioned) being
replaced with a "merged" distro.... :-D
um, reality check folks - those sort of things generally require
community votes.
