A couple of things.

There's already an olpc-utils package in Fedora. I'm the current
maintainer of the package. Let me know how I can help, or you can
request to be added to the ACL here
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/olpc-utils and do
it yourself.

Also can you add any RH BZ stuff you do as a blocker to the tracker
bug to make it easier to track
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462625

I would be surprised if dracut doesn't make it to rawhide soon as its
on the Feature list for F12. I'll poke some people here at FudCon to
try and find out the status.

I also noticed an updated openchrome driver hit F11 testing in the
last day or so, not sure if that has the changes you mention.

Cheers,
Peter
