The target public would be, if I understand the question correctly,
network equipment providers.  Off the top of my head, I can point to the
SCOPE Alliance as a potential list of both hardware and software vendors
who would potentially be interested in knowing this information about a
particular distribution.

Currently, I would guess at 3-4, depending on how you count.  Obviously
Wind River and MontaVista are there since we are both active
participants in the CGL working group.  Performance Technologies is now
registered against the CGL 4.0 registration, so that makes three.  I'm
guessing that having this might have some interest to RedHat as well
since they're SCOPE sponsors, but that's just a guess.

Potential newcomers might be Asianux, since they had a 3.2 registration,
and possibly Debian, Timesys and SuSE since they all had 2.0
registrations, I've got no insight into what those distributions /
organizations would want.
