Not that I'd want to put anyone off the idea, but I do then wonder, Why 
do it?

Why try to integrate it into Fedora when your efforts won't lead to 
profits for
Red Hat?

I understand it from a personal perspective.  It's a challenge.  It can 
make hardware
available that was otherwise lost to Sun.  It's Linux-From-Scratch in 
the extreme.

But at the same time, this is just our obsession.  It sort of looks like 
a bunch of geeks
(myself very much included) that don't know when to just give up and 
accept the Sun license
and everything that comes with it.  ;-)
