It sounds like you've got two projects in mind - one that chases various
ARM/other-embedded boards and your application. The *WRT distros do the
first to some extent.
Fedora ARM has a wiki page describing where that project is:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
I had made this page for the Tor project:
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/EmbeddedTips
which has some links that might help. Also, remember that a minimal
Fedora install is about two orders of magnitude larger than
purpose-built distros.
As you've noticed, low-end x86 is rather stable and runs lots of
software. Watch out, Fedora 12 is about to deprecate some of the
lowest-power CPU's (C3 at least, not sure about C7).
