Will CentOS still be supporting the older architectures? It was previously discussed on the mailing list that it may be easier to rebase a long term support release, especially for aging hardware, on a RHEL base and then just manage a repo for the specific packages that a SUGAR distro really needs. I can probably throw together a test CentOS image with updated gstreamer/xorg/olpc-kernel pretty quick.
