I think it should be more achievable once libgnome and friends are
gone along with some splitting of some of the 'extra' features in some
main packages out into sub packages. This ties quite nicely in with a
NetBook "Fedora Mini" spin I've been looking at, which is how I got
side tracked into OLPC :-)
