Not sure but I'll add it to my list. The other thought that had come to mind. Is there a plan for this release to move from gnome-vfs to gio/gvfs (does OLPC even use it?). I think quite a few of the mainline packages have moved that direction so. I also plan to look at getting alot of the bits like cd-rom related bits split out. The will also be useful for NetBook style spins (I'm also involved in Fedora Mini for small devices - netbooks, MIDs etc) as none of those come with any form of optical drive. Another query, what is the reason in a number of packages to drop the gtk-docs option from some packages? I can't see the difference in files between packages, just wondering what the reasons are?
