I've been thinking about the applicability of state-based LoCos as 
well.  Assuming even population spread between states, and an identical 
per-capita take-up of Ubuntu between .au and .us (both highly flawed 
assumptions), .us has 309 million persons (very rough figure from 
Wikipedia) in 50 states, or approximately one LoCo per 6,180,000 
persons.  A per-state LoCo would give .au (22 million persons in 8 
states - we'll count ACT & NT as states), or approximately one LoCo per 
2,750,000 persons.  This is not really that different, and i wonder 
whether it wouldn't be more practical in terms of co-ordination and the 
like.
