Default [Q] Question regarding Verizon Galaxy Tab 2

How is everyone doing? I've read somewhere that the Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 is just an Verizon S3 with a crappy screen (lol). I've also read that they share the same partition layout. That being the case, what is the difficulty in forking the Verizon S3 git repository to get started on a CM rom? I'm looking at getting into developing and I will try to test this concept out on my device (when it gets here) but I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this approach.
