The first option mentioned by Gerald ("openSUSE Server Edition") is something 
that could be easily done by a small number of people.  IMO it would be taking 
the existing packages, creating a media and perhaps adjusting the installation 
work flow and adjusting patterns - and then testing for sure.  This would be a 
one-time effort for each release and something a couple of users are 
interested in as well,
