You can have a distro without users -- nobody but you would be using it -- it's still a distro. It all depends on what you expect out of the project. I think Sejo's got the right idea this time -- this distro is just a community, and that's how it's run (well, it's run more like a commune, but anyway). If it were run like a business, the behaviour would be a lot different (and a lot more closed). For starters, there would actually be a leadership situation in place. You can argue that Gentoo *began* its life as a business, but the past three years have been far removed from that paradigm.
