The announcement "New joyride build 1610" says:
> -kernel 2.6.22-20080129.2.olpc.1b84a9e4bedcd66
> +kernel 2.6.22-20080129.3.olpc.13dc6cf365d32ae
Presumably the use of "olpc" in naming this kernel indicates that 
olpc-specific tweaks have been applied.

To avoid needing to re-customize if I were to install anew, I often 
use 'yum update'.  What that offers is a 2.6.23 kernel (without the 
"olpc" in its name).

If this 2.6.23 kernel is missing some of those olpc-specific tweaks, 
should it even __be__ in the package repository accessed by 'yum' ?
