I am not convinced that this is true. It looks like MeeGo is going to track upstream closely with few customizations. It is going be be more of an integration that a distribution. In that regards, it leans closer to a "standard linux instance" than it does a separate distro. > Thus, MeeGo lives next to Fedora and Ubuntu, and remixes much of the > same software in a slightly different way.

But that is not what MeeGo is primarily about. It seems to me it is more about creating a functioning reference platform which others can take and build upon. As such it seems closer to a standard.
