My comments weren't only directed at you.  ;)

I'm hoping that someone with the required skill set, time, and desire might
explore the idea. A long shot, but there's no harm in bringing up the idea,
is there?

There's already some variants on the Knoppix theme popping up. One fellow
is creating a Knoppix variant that includes the latest version of the
POV-Ray raytracing software, along with all the relevant 2-D and 3-D
graphics utilities he can find. The idea is to simply insert a CD-R, and
boot up an open-source 3-D rendering workstation, where a Windows business
computer resided only moments before. I would like to see a musical
workstation that functioned in this manner. 

I wasn't trying to convince you to drop your soldering iron and start
programing a new OS.  ;)
