I'd rather see the resources applied to _fixing_ all those usability issues that can be fixed by overall approaches (to include additional configurable aspects and install-time settings for them) without breakage, aiding _all_ distros. Once that's done, a new distro might still be useful to experiment with different (like repository-based) update models, although to do that properly implies more than just a distro; it implies an explosion of additional package version combination testing (which, given that repository models probably aren't always as clean as one get-the-latest-packages command and everything magically works better afterward, seems critical to making it better than the allegedly friendly competition).
