The problem is not to get code in the hands of developers. You don't need
distros for that. The problem is to get the code to end-users and
developers spend more time fighting the constrains it involves than trying
to understand this problem-space.

Of course the aim might not be to reach end users but to push code from
developpers to other developpers. Let's stop pretending doing products
then. Be honest and admit you want a demo scene.
