It's the wrong goal.  A potentially right one is to understand
what they want/need to accomplish by means of some software
and *then* to figure out what are the problems to do that
with existing distros, for example.

I know the game to some extent having seen quite a few forks
and some merges somewhat closely and having participated in
a few of those, and having supported Linux commercially for
something like ten years.

It's very important to understand whether there's a real goal
there or just a desire to fool around with some bling ideas
(and to step down when the wear of daily support comes close).
