This depends upon what the folks at RedHat (or their Fedora coordinators) decide to do. I suppose that if enough people e-mail them requesting a package, they'll include it in their distro. I'd bet they'd really take notice of gEDA if they got an e-mail from the CTO of a mid-sized high-tech company! ;-) Stuart
