And what is the software you develop going to test and run on? Are you
developing desktop applications, server/web applications, or both?

So the "developer" distribution is a superset of every other dist, which
means all sub-dists must not conflict and.... this whole idea is
completely senseless.

The raison d'être of a distribution is integration. Splitting it up runs
completely counter to this.
