I recently stood before a room of fellow builders at Drupal Developer Days Athens 2026 and asked a question: "How many of you use Drupal distributions?" Lots of hands shot up across the room. But when I followed up with, "And how many of you are actually happy with them?" the room went quiet, only a couple hands remained in the air. Distributions were our solution for long to make starting easier with Drupal, so this was sad.
