[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As has been shown with LXLE, lubuntu  has NO issues at all in community
spins. The devs are, however, pretty stretched with the current number of
ISO's we support. But, I do not speak for the devs! The minimal and core
system give you a nice low-resource base to build on. We have had, in the
past, community respin done by lubuntueers and if someone wants to take
this a project, they are more than welcome :)

Regards,

Phill.
