Your mistake actually casts the problem in a different light.
All distro makers should publicly condemn Micoshaft tactics and those
that join it, and publicly give the finger to all of them.
That way they let developers know that they are not wasting time
contributing to that distro.
Everyone else who can't make such a declaration are living on
borrowed time and may as well fall by the wayside now rather
than delay the inevitable downfall of their distro.
