Then it seems we should have the expectation of rebasing during every major OLPC release, since we are doing time based releases and so is Fedora. This means we need a strategy of to handle this, and not just find someone for this time, but get better at doing it so that it becomes less of an issue every time. Ubuntu rebases off Debian unstable every six months. When a new development cycle opens, they first update the toolchain - compilers etc - then have a period to suck in debian packages, then a stabilisation period, then a feature freeze, then progressively more freezes before release. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule for an example.
