According to TFA (which I don't know enough to verify), the >10 distributions that "don't work well" are the ones pushing the platform forward and solving problems one by one. The blessed monoculture distribution is about packaging other people's work and doesn't really contribute to the development, in fact they only add annoyance due to shitty packaging policy, so with the other distributions pissed off, they won't have stuff to pick up. That's not a promising path to "one working version".
