I'd have trouble finding the time to do much with it. Sorry.

This came up during the early stages of Emdebian Crush - basically the
consensus amongst teams within Debian at the time is that such a
distribution would neither be OE nor Debian. The opportunities for
merging any of this into either would be few and the workload of
maintaining such a double fork is, IMHO, prohibitive. Doing it once is
one thing, I'm not at all sure how it could be keep up to date with two
divergent (and largely unrelated) bases. An interesting project for a
one-off, maybe. There is a limited niche for systems with the storage
limitations which would necessitate such a distro.
