Yep, I can help out with that. I've been helping gregdek with getting some of the OLPC changes upstream so as to get as much as possible into mainline Fedora so the OLPC guys can concentrate on more important stuff. I've got a list of most of the issues from 8.2 but arrived on the scene a little late to have much impact there. So now that we're rebasing to F-10 I'll be working to minimise the requirement of package forks.
