The only way to measure this accurately, like anything else in Fedora,
is by the number of contributors. I will be looking to contribute to the
ARM project in some way in hope that I can one day replace my aging N900
phone with newer, faster hardware and a real GNU/Linux image.
Red Hat needs to get into the phone/tablet business: Red Hat Enterprise
Mobile!
It doesn't seem like a huge over-reach to assume that any RH interest in
ARM is more on the server side than a raging desire to take on Android
and the iPad :) (Note: I don't have any sekrit inside info on this. It
seems like a reasonable guess, though.)
