It would be a dead end to integrate LTSP 4.2 into Fedora.

LTSP 4.2 can remain the proven existing solution published by 
k12ltsp.org until LTSP 5.0 is refined and fully integrated in Fedora. 
The latter with time can become the replacement for k12ltsp.org, but 
until then, existing production users are better served by the proven 
software.

At the moment however we have trouble with higher priorities within 
Fedora (like the merge), and we need more volunteers to help with LTSP 
5.0 for Fedora if we are to make any progress in the near-term.

Eric Harrison has already did lots of the hacking to get 5.0 working on 
Fedora, but does not seem to have time to attempt integration of that in 
Fedora or ask for help from other Fedora contributors.  That would be a 
good place to start if someone wants to help.
