I don't see us accomplishing much by stating the obvious, which is that Moblin is indeed based on Fedora even if Intel does not want to acknowledge that for whatever reasons. Considering that they seem to have moved it over to Linux Foundation, it all might just be political considerations. Let's move beyond that. Now, is there useful patches that we need to push upstream? Are there additional packages, we can import into Fedora? Let's look at that list. We know of sreadahead. Has the kernel portion been upstreamed? Arjan pointed out memuse in http://lwn.net/Articles/331423/. What's the rest?
