I think by the time it is snappy on a PI-133, they will be in the same
closet as the Atari's and such are today. At the moment, you cant
directly install onto that machine (40MB PI-133) with Fedora so it is
sort of a moot point. 

Now K12LTSP you can do.. and that is where it is important... but I dont
know if Fedora core is aimed there. Of course, I am not sure I know
where Fedora Core is aimed so.. I am moot.
