Another good question to ask is why not?

* most of the hard work has been done, so the amount of duplicated effort
  is minimal

* choice is good

* the person/people doing the adaptation will become experts in LTSP (or
  at least have a healthy respect for how much work goes into projects
  like this ;-)

* maybe they'll come up with something novel that I can merge back into
  my version
