I've added this information to the POC project tracking list.  Seems like what matters the most is the distro's comfort with implementing a given project.  Right now, we don't have distro input on AEM, except the comment by someone on the CGL mailing list that it was invasive.  Maybe CGL's work is in really determining why distros will not adopt it (not sure if it was a distro that mentioned invasiveness) and then working on either fixing that issue or proving to a distro's satisfaction that it's not an issue.
