Mark,
I respect your opinion, but it comes down to a philosophical position. I could agree that, for the majority of members in this community engaging in making the MALI work with a custom kernel might not be a walk in the park, but in my opinion products like the Pine, Beaglebone, Raspberry PI and others are geared primarily towards people that want to prototype, experiment and learn in the process.
Please note that what we are asking for is not a packaged distro. We are asking for guidance to experiment, which by definition sets expectations of success appropriately where they should be. What is there to loose? Who loses? I know I won't, even if i later decide is not worth my time. But who knows, maybe I end up contributing something useful to others, and that is the principle behind creating a community around a developer's board such as the Pine.
So, to get on track again, we should be willing to help those interested in diving into the unknown, albeit with appropriate cautionary warnings, to explore, break, even get frustrated, but ultimately get the opportunity to learn. Maybe in the process more community members can also go for a stroll in the park with the park regulars.
