First off, I think this is a great idea and very much needed, thanks for
working on it.
On the cross-distro front, is Canonical / Ubuntu officially involved in
this and expecting to move to it in future, or are you just working
'unofficially' with some Ubuntu community people and if anything it'll
wind up being an unofficial alternative for Ubuntu users?
I don't follow Canonical's news, but I believe that they have their
own tool for this which is a big deal feature for their next release.
So I'm not sure they would ever adopt this.
