* Should Soas2's software artifacts include non-Fedora (that is, non-upstream) bits or yum repositories?  For example: a) OLPC kernel (2.6.25); or b) via wireless drivers?

:Though (and this is potentially a big "though") these bits/repos must be supported by SugarLabs without any upstream assistance (this statement is a bit less equivocal than strictly necessary), they would provide a solution with a lot more working features.  For example, it's hard to imagine an accepted XO-1 solution without power management, or an accepted Eee (is that Via???) solution without wireless.  However, these may not be enough of SoaS's target audience to merit the additional work.

* Keep in mind [[OLPC:User:Mstone/Commentaries/Mass olpc-update|some olpc-update goals]] which I believe are still [[http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-update/|being worked upon]].

* Should an [[OLPC:User:Mstone/Commentaries/Mass olpc-update|olpc-update-like]] mechanism be supported?  This is quite a lot of work.  There is still some [http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-update/ work being done on olpc-update].
