I think what Peter was telling us is that there are still some integration bugs that need to be worked out for a usable spin to be produced, but that's a different kettle of fish. > * On the MeeGo feature page [2] there is something saying that you can > do a yum install meego-netbook from rawhide.

Good question, I defer to Peter for the answer to that one. > * I guess I need a bit of handholding as far as "the software" we're > talking about.

Yes, stuff like that -- software from the MeeGo project that's now included in Fedora. > Comments second: > * I'm really sad to see this one go.

The vast majority of software from the MeeGo core is in Fedora 14. It's never been proper to say "MeeGo is in Fedora 14" because there is a tiny fraction of it we don't include because it interferes with the rest of Fedora's software stack (like ConnMan which would replace NetworkManager). Rather, what we do say is that we include most of the software from the MeeGo project in Fedora 14 -- that hasn't changed. -- Paul W.
