Now that's a good idea. I (not being a programmer) would really like to see a 'skinny' Ubuntu EMC2 distribution. Skinny being not much more than what is needed for EMC2 work. No office stuff, no media stuff, only the really necessary apps and libraries and such. Small enough to install on a dedicated computer with an SSD drive(s). Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Fedora is also placing a bigger emphasis on respins, so these distro companies seem to understand that the stock installs are not suitable for a section of users.
