I meant OLPC the hardware organization. I'm glad to see James is still producing Fedora-based images for legacy hardware. I'm pretty sure they haven't produced XO-1s in close to a decade, and that us what my packages are for. XO-1.5 and XO-4 were never supported without additional hacks.
That said, I can orphan the packages; I just don't see much point with such old hardware and the lack of package users.
