~~The~~ major purposes for this distribution:

These are the major purposes for this distribution:

* If [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sweets]] is more appropriate for personal usage, Sweets Distribution might be useful for Sugar distributors, e.g., special GNU/Linux distributions targeted on Sugar usage;

* Some times it is nearly impossible to have a recent Sugar release in not so recent GNU/Linux distributions, e.g., LTS releases. Sweets Distribution will be helpful in that case;

** Some times, it is mostly impossible to have recent Sugar release in not recent GNU/Linux distributions, e.g., LTS releases, and Sweets Distribution will be helpful in that case;

** When [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sweets]] is more appropriate for personal usage, Sweets Distribution might be useful for Sugar distributors, e.g., special GNU/Linux distributions targeted for Sugar usage;

* Sweets Distribution is ~~only~~ about packaging [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sugar sweets]], thus, it is zero-cost effort~~; the~~ downside, it is impossible to add Sweets Distribution's packages to official repositories of GNU/Linux distributions.

* Sweets Distribution is all about packaging [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sugar sweets]], thus, it is a zero-cost effort. The downside is that it is impossible to add Sweets Distribution's packages to official repositories of GNU/Linux distributions.
