I think this idea is taking place in a lot of OSS heads for quite a few
days/months/years ..

I would like to work together with people who want that. 

"People who want that"....yeah, this is a big problem. As long as people
think (which I did in the last couple of years) that distros are not
working together, this plan won't be realized. 

So, let's start with work on inter-distro-work regarding package
management. I think I'm able to provide some infos about debian and rpm
package management.
