my earlier post wasn't meant seriously, only to show that polls don't make  
sense in this situaion.

if the devs wanted to work on a commercial distro, they would be doing  
that. of course, everybody got their price eventually, but that would be a  
rather huge amount of bitcoins/dollars/gold bars/whatever.

it would probably be easier to hire a couple dozen qualified developers to  
create your own customized arch-derived distro. that's an option, of  
course, if you got the money and want to spend it.\
