That's not entirely true, Fedora for example has a hard requirement on a number of kernel features that will cause major issues if they're not present. That said I honestly don't believe it should be too hard for someone with a hard debugger and a bit of know how to work out what is wrong with the Fedora kernel on the PandaBoard devices to allow them to be supported again in the main distribution kernel. The main problem we've got is people with the know how don't have the interest and visa versa. I personally just don't have the time and gave my HW debugger away as a result.
