+1

I used the term in a "at this current time" context;
as I've said before, I expect that at some point in time
we will have a series of focused or niche distros:

	Indiana 10/07, Indiana 4/08, ...
	SomethingMajor11
	Kansas 10/09, Kansas 4/10, ...

as well as

	An Appliance thingie
	A Storage/ZFS thingie
	A Web Stack thingie
	etc
