So we should ignore OLPC that is deploying 100's of thousands all
running Fedora?
Modest proposal: OLPC might benefit from running its own koji instance
and effectively going the secondary arch route. -Os -march=geode, etc.
Given how close it is to mainline x86 it's unlikely to have funky
compilation failures, and it has to branch a non-trivial number of
packages anyway.
Of course, why limit this to geode. Surely someone has VIA C3 or a
Pentium Classic they want to keep limping along.
