All the distros will _have_ to be the same.

I'm actually thinking about other directions:1. roll your own, continuously, from upstream source - using Devops and continuous integration tools (but that breaks quickly if everything depends on systemd) 2. unikernals like mirage, that run directly on top of hypervisors - incorporating only a bare minimum of o/s libraries, as needed by the specific application being used
