That is the point of a shared upstream such as Debian or Ubuntu. We can create a new distro that meets the needs of a select community be it idealistic or any other.

Then our work gets sucked upstream to the main distribution if it is useful. And sucked downstream to other forks like ourselves if they find it useful.

It is a way of working together while still sticlking to your own wants and need.

This is the wonder of open source
