[clean-list] future of clean

Hi,

would it be an idea to completely avoid the 1 big windows
distro with all the fancy new features stuffed in? So:

* For all platforms a "core" distribution that is
  compatible for Windows/Linux/Macintosh.
* separate distro's with all the fancy new features
  stuffed in for windows (or other platforms).

The point being that if you force yourself to work in
this way, it becomes visible to everyone (also the Clean
developers) how big or tiny this core really is.

Another potential gain is that these two distro's can be
at different stages of development. For production level
work it is often very important that the core system
remains stable and that bugs get fixed. The bleeding edge
can then be used for research and teaching.

regards,
Marco
