I'm not sure if it really is THAT bad. Sure, Haiku is anything but ready for
public consumption; however, on the other hand, this DOES lower the bar on
entering the Haiku world and maybe even contributing to the project.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing. The code is still of alpha
quality for many components, and people could get a bad impression of
Haiku by running a buggy build. This is of course the reason no one on
the Haiku project has made something like this yet.
Of course since the code is MIT people can pretty much do whatever
they want with it. But I don't think unofficial distributions should
be allowed to use the Haiku name, especially with GNU/ before it. That
sounds too much like a Linux distro.
Maybe Michael or Axel could politely ask Pingwinek to rename it Gnaiku
or whatever.
