No, I think we are talking about the same. IMO a blog distro would still be 
normal drupal, in the admin and in the way of doing stuff. 
Just that all the blogish features, such as pings pin.module) trackbacks 
(trackback module) technocrati and more of that buzzword stuff would already 
be installed after you get your drupalBLOG up and running. 

I am not talking about graphical installers or stuff like that. I personally 
don't beleive that it is going to help a lot. ;) Drupal will still be as hard 
as always. Just that it removes the first step (to filter those out that will 
not grok drupal anyway :p ). 

Distros and installprofiles will help all this. But only if they are 
maintained and if a profile was crafted with greatest care, and knowledge. 
For install profiles made by joe schmoe after he got his My Coffee Mug 
Collection Weblog online will only make things worse IMO. And please beware, 
that this is not arrogancy, but just building on top of the fact that drupal 
is hard to grok. Learning curves are steep. And only those that already 
climbed up that curve will know how to make it less steap, IMO.
