I don't have details at my fingertips, but I think that computing with
"distributions" violates some of the ordinary axioms of computation that
Maxima takes for granted. That is not to say they can't be used, but
that it may be a bad idea to release them "unconditionally". Using them
as an answer for human consumption is different from using them as input
to a Maxima function. Maybe it is worth a brief study (by you?)
