Interesting ideas, I can definitely see potential in them :)
Coincidentally, I began work on the ReactOS Synthesis project last year,
with the intention of making a utility which would replace components in
Windows with their ReactOS equivalents after they had been tested to be
stable. While this project never got very far, I think that it could be
revived as a combination of the original concept as well as the
'distribution' concept.
Essentially it would aim to give stability to end-users, people who are
more interested in just using an OS instead of testing it and praying it
doesn't crash. This would be featured in stable releases, using only the
best and most stable patches from the ReactOS trunk and branches. One'd
also be able to 'upgrade' a Windows (XP SP3, most likely) installation
with ReactOS components. The latter would be more experimental, the
former more meant to give end-users an idea of what a stable ReactOS
will be like.
I would also want to make the new installer (ROSE) part of the distribution.
Thoughts? Comments?

CHAPTER VII. THE FOUR CLASSES OF SOCIETY. THE FOUR CLASSES OF SOCIETY. "After the herald had given the names of the wrestlers who were to make the first round, the fellows came in. They were dressed without any clothes to speak of, or rather they were quite undressed, with the exception of a cloth around their loins. They came in on opposite sides of the ring, and stood there about five feet apart, each man resting his hands on his knees, and glaring at the other like a wild beast. They[Pg 231] looked more like a pair of tigers than human beings, and for a moment I thought it was not at all unlike what a bull-fight in Spain might be. I turned upon her choking with anger, but her melting beauty rendered me helpless. Black woods were on our left. "Shall we turn in here?" I asked. "None of that with me," he growled. "Do you know who I am, Countess Lalage? I am Leon Lagage, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, and your husband. Incomparable woman, you cannot alter that fact. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, till death do us part!" I have in this way imperfectly indicated a methodical plan of generating a design, as far as words alone will serve, beginning with certain premises based upon a particular work to be performed, and then proceeding to consider in consecutive order the general character of the machine, mode of operation, movements and adjustments, general arrangement, strains, special arrangement, and proportions. ‘Alas! what is life, what is death, what are we, 11th January two best dresses. Commencement was as usual, with a few showers “All right,” agreed Sandy. “Dick, you and I are the ground crew.

The next morning he was up betimes, and cooked the boys as good a breakfast as he could out of the remainder of his store and what he could get from the hospital, and then gave what was left to whoever came. The comfortable crib, which had cost the Deacon so much labor, had been pre-empted by the Surgeon for some of his weakest patients. "You two step forward one pace," he commanded. "Gentleman, I've got my six. The rest are yours." "Where are you goin'?" he said sternly. Every now and then the crowd would break into the latest rhymings of MacKinnon's poet: A large thicket, at this moment, gave the dusty foot an opportunity of doubling, and, for an instant, diverging from the straightforward course, though it availed him little, he seemed to feel the breath of his pursuer on the back of his neck; his foot sounded as if at his heels; he drew his garment closely around him, turned suddenly to the right, and, bounding from the ground, the next instant a splash was heard in the little river, and the fugitive was safe from his pursuer.
