Let me reverse the question: what is the motivation for having the 
"Community Distribution"? Why would one use it instead of MiQ + 
Hawkular? What are the concrete use cases? What can we offer on this 
distribution that MiQ + Hawkular can't?

Keeping a distribution like this if we have no concrete use cases or 
clear benefits will only cause us to spend time creating/maintaining 
when we could be spending time on other more relevant parts.

I asked a similar question already a couple of times in another threads, 
but I still couldn't get a good answer. I'm starting to think that 
everyone can clearly see the need for this, except me...
