I think he has talked about it before as well, which is what got me
thinking along these lines originally. He has said often times that
K12LTSP is not a distro, but that is what it has effectively become,
along with all the cruft that goes along with maintaining such a beast.
I mean really, how many projects other than distros have to maintain ISO
installation images?

What I am proposing would not need to be added to the wiki becuase it
would (to use gentoo as an example) consist of running "emerge k12ltsp"
on a running system, and when that was complete it would be ready to
rock. Divorcing the "intelligence" that makes it work now from the
particulars of one distribution and making it so that a package could be
run on different distros and end up with the same functional result at
the end.
