I hope so, the pygtk required is too recent at this point and Smart 
requires some changes to rpm (or at least its own functionality that 
older rpm's do not provide).

I would like to have at least a command line version going back to RHEL3 
or even further back if possible. But since it has only be released to the 
public on Dec 4, it's too early to expect too much even when it looks as a 
finished product already :)

If you're interested to try and fix the things currently lacking to make 
it work on FC2, I'm sure Gustavo is interested to add your work.
