just FWIW, i will start - if this proposal were accepted, i
might suggest that "incomplete distros" not be given a distinct
entry on the website; but listed within the same entry as the
main distro, denoted as a "flavor", "spin", or similar, with a
summary of it's unique characteristics - for the sake of
clarity, that seems appropriate to me
it is difficult enough for people to choose a distro - i think
that would be very helpful to indicate like "'foo-spin' is very
very much like 'foo', but it has these unique characteristics" -
any "bare-minimum effort" spins, would be easily identifiable as
such; because the description would clearly suggest the
triviality of the changes, like:
"... but it has a different name and desktop artworks"
or
"... but it's installer installs KDE instead of GNOME"
that really is the most common sort - uruk's differences appear
to be more significant/substantial, but still summarize-able
