To be fair Warren Woodford is only one person. It takes a lot of time and man hours to get a product into channel. It would also raise the price of the product because the overhead of placing a product into channel is more than what Woodford presently has.
If you like Mepis and you want it to remain free then it would be good to support Warren and his product "as is" and not expect too big of a thing too fast.
Warren Woodford has built "it" and they will come in due time...
