Then your distro will be forked from the Oracle released sources and you'll
have created an extra hurdle for yourself to jump in recreating SVR4 package
prototypes since those are no longer present in the ON & X gates, and will
be removed from more of the source gates as more consolidations transition.
If others want to work on a distro that doesn't have that issue, they should
be free to do so.
