Re;Re; Why another distribution

Sorry but I still don't get it. Why these packages and tools cannot be provide as add-on to Slackware? For example with a CD that will provide additional tools and drivers, and a "setup" to install everything on top of an existing installation of Slackware 9.
Over time Slackware will evolve. Will CollegeLinux follow that evolution or completely diverge, creating yet another obscure distribution that is barely compatible with anything else.
