Side note: Ok, not that OLPC isn't cool and shiny and exciting... but
is it really a good example to be using in regards to what Fedora needs
to adapt to? I mean, without one of the OLPC machines... what benefit
does the OLPC have to Fedora itself? To be honest, I almost see OLPC as
being it's own distro. (One that I would personally love to play with
myself because it _does_ sound cool.)
I see Fedora as a Canary. Using Fedora as a base, with a very different
focus, user base and design point. It's closer to mythtv than it is to
what the Fedora desktop is today. But it's the first, and we want to
enable more of this, not less. Experiment, prototype, go forth and
change. And use Fedora as your base to do so.
But your question is valid. What does OLPC give Fedora? Hopefully
quite a few side effects. At some point we'll be attacking memory usage
and suspend/resume stuff, and everyone will benefit from that. We'll be
breaking package dependencies where we can, experimenting with new ways
to distribute, install and update software. I'll bet a huge amount of
that will be useful down the road. There is a significant halo effect
here - don't ignore it. :)

These seem much more relevant for what Fedora is geared towards.
