First of all, there's the question of why to create a new distribution.
I think the concerns about providing a binary-based, easy-to-install
distro are unfounded. We already have, for example, Trisquel that covers
that niche.
If we wanted to make something for wizards only, this reasoning
would be valid. But it makes no sense to do so much work
and fail to include the feature of binary packages.
This limitation would be gratuitous, since we already have fine free
software for binary packages.
