Fedora 10 for 9.1.0?

[Walter Bender]

We went through this early on in the development of the OLPC software
stack. It became clear that we were not far enough along to be able to
settle in on RHEL. Maybe we'll be at that point after another turn or
two of the crank. Maybe the XS will be there sooner. But too much is
in flux.
