Incorrect :) It will be used for the initrd, or is at least proposed
at this point, Fedora 12. See the fedoraproject page I linked above.
As a result will no doubt see massive development by the RedHat Fedora
devs over the coming months as a result, so might be the perfect
timing from the OLPC perspective as I know its had some testing on F11
and as some have plans for it to be the kernel initrd across all
distros it could be a worthwhile dev target as it would be upstream
moving forward and hence be less maintenance going forward.
