Canterbury Distribution,a reality or an April fool?

Debian, Gentoo, Grml, openSUSE and Arch Linux have unified to merge their effort to Canterbury project to develop an operating system based on all the features of these Linux distributions.This is a very good news but this day is April 1st and I hope that this is not a prank led on April.This is a great leap towards development of Linux.If this happens, then Windows will surely fall apart.
On their words

"We are pleased to announce the birth of the Canterbury distribution. Canterbury is a merge of the efforts of the community distributions formerly known as Debian, Gentoo, Grml, openSUSE and Arch Linux.
The target is to produce a really unified effort and be able to stand up in a combined effort against proprietary operating systems, to show off that the Free Software community is actually able to work together for a common goal instead of creating more diversity."

Following will perhaps be the consequences of this amalgamation:

• Unified binary(RPM and DEB will be unified with interoperability)
• Faster updates and greater helping community
• Support for much larger spectrum of Hardware.
• Polished user interface for novices.

And much more.......
Now it is time to wait and see.

Update: It was an April fool.
