Wouldn't it be wiser if we had fewer distributions, but each of them served a purpose?

• repology-updater

  40 477 8.9 Python

  Repology backend service to update repository and package data

  

If repology is anything to go by, there are only around 70 distributions with their own software repositories, and fewer than half of those are independent. Many of the forks and spin-off projects are indeed working on different approaches, but that's a different kind of work that doesn't detract from what the base distributions are doing. Having more people working on more ideas is essentially a good thing.
