I'm genuinely struggling to see how a Sumo distribution ever comes into being under your proposal. There's no evidence that anyone wants it (otherwise it would have been created by now!!)
Actually, sumo distributions have been created; it's just that there are so many of them:
- Linux distributions
- BSD & Mac "ports" systems
- ActivePython, the Enthought Distribution, etc.
- certain distutils extensions that I shall not name
When the idea of "sumo" distributions were first being batted around (10-12 years ago?), I'm not sure even distutils existed yet, let alone any of this other stuff. I mean, yeah, the port systems and distros existed, but their coverage wasn't nearly as good as it is today.
