I did. I am not functioning on a full load of coffee.

Seriously, some people may be attached to those distro's. However, if 
they are not using OISTRO_PR to force rebuilds may be due to their use 
case being different from say Angstrom. DISTRO_PR is useful for people 
maintained feeds for end users. Some of the DISTRO's without it, may 
just build images from clean builds as needed, so they don't really need 
it, and won't need the PR bump being discussed.
