Interesting. This raises the middle possibility of knowing perhaps two
distributions rather than my "choose the distribution to suit the
punter" versus "one size fits all". This is "choose the distribution
to suit the punter from our (very) shortlist of 'supported'
distributions".

Obviously it doesn't have the efficiency benefits of knowing just one
distribution, but perhaps Ian could know one and Steve the other and
installs allocated accordingly.

Views?

FYI, the room in which we meet at the Valley Bar is a no-smoking room.
The bar downstairs, however, is foggy as hell. Just so you know the
conditions of our room use.
