The fact that censorship is an intrinsic risk to any centralized Linux
distro doesn't make it any more appropriate. If censorship is
occurring, it needs to stop.

Still, the idea of a decentralized Linux distro is cool. You could
have it work on a Web Of Trust.... It sort of reminds me of Linus

And with that trust comes scrutiny.
