My understanding: The distributions will. They already have development teams, release cycles, release engineering teams, etc. This is why the idea fits current-day OLPC very well, as OLPC no longer has the resources to do those things. As for packaging, at least for Fedora I guess that a group such as the OLPC-SIG would make the package decisions and processes. And ideally we'll want that streamlined and well documented so that deployments can make their own customizations.
