No, that sounds a lot like exactly the right answer.
To promote remote working we need developers that can help and teach a company to handle remote work. Not people who will just whine about how companies suck because they don't offer remote work.
Remote working is a skill, on both sides. Most companies that would theoretically not be averse to remote workers don't have that skill and can't properly evaluate that skill in others, so the only alternative to a long period of trial and error is to hire developers with a proven track record.
Either that or wait for 37signal's book to come out...
