I don't think this proposal would affect things too drastically, but just remember that ideally a Mac (not just Linux) user can just download source (or use git to do so), type make, wait a while, and still have a usable sage-the-distribution (once they've installed command line tools, which should be the only prereq for them). Certainly this is one reason many of the packages were historically included (including gcc, as you are no doubt aware). I'm impressed if you can make this happen, though, as many Linux fans will be very happy.
