I am not forgetting that, all I said was that I just don't think we should pile every change to Fedora that could ever be useful on embedded targets together into one patch repository and then present that as a fait accomplis 'Fedora ARM patch set'. When the ARM dust settles and people start spending effort on trying to make Fedora more cross-friendly, I'll certainly be contributing to that effort, but as I said, there's still a possibility that it turns out that this is not realistically doable without making life hard for everyone else, in which case part(s) of that effort might have to be maintained externally.
