FWIW, there's an imminent announcement from the release team about
moduleset reorganization that will have an impact on this. Hopefully,
Lucas will send the mail tonight if I write this here ;-)

I don't know if Red Hat will want to deploy GNOME Shell on netbooks, but
GNOME will certainly want to have GNOME Shell work fine on netbooks. And
as far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong) GNOME Shell is
designed to have a UI that works for netbooks.

FWIW, in your answers, you make it sound like GNOME Shell is just a Red
Hat project. Red Hat is certainly a driving force behind it,
contributing a lot, but it's a GNOME project, with many other
contributors.

Cheers,

Vincent
