I can see the fake dependency method is more generic, which is a good thing. Standard kernels and bootloaders are something that will need to be looked at sooner or later, though. It might be an idea to start looking at what standard supported options might include. The most popular ones I can think of are (in no particular order): SheevaPlugs (uboot, kirkwood) BeagleBoard/PandaBoard (uboot, OMAP) Genesi (uboot, Freescale) Further down the list is the Toshiba AC100, which has semi-working uboot support, but uboot has no keyboard support for nvec attached keyboards, and it is Tegra2 based. The current way of booting them involves packaging up the kernel and initrd into a bootable partition image. The only other platforms I can think of that somebody might want to run Fedora on are Compulab's ATX ARM board (Marvell based), and their TrimSlice micro desktop machine based on the Tegra2. Haven't used either of them yet, so don't know where they stand on uboot. Depending on how many popular platforms I've missed, this may not be an unreasonable number to have custom kernels for.
