I've been shipping a 3.0.35 kernel with the F18/F19 images used by the
Community Squeeze project since we switched to a Fedora based image back
in February. www.communitysqueeze.org 

I'm guessing if I factor in that most of our users have downloaded at
least 3 images, we currently have 20, maybe 30, Wandboard users running
a Fedora based distro. I expect this will be 100's, (rather than 10's),
of users at the point that our hardware (John Swenson designed DAC
carrier board) is manufactured and available.

Robert Nelsons 3.11 kernel build has Wandboard HDMI output working with
this patch....

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/armv7-multiplatform/blob/v3.11.x/patches/imx_video/0001-imx-video-staging-Add-HDMI-support-to-imx-drm-driver.patch

No idea whether that has been submitted to the gregkh staging tree yet.
