I certainly agree that moving from a six-minute boot to a one-minute boot makes a substantial difference in the user's perception of the system (if not a difference in usability) and that's a very important goal. But striving for incremental improvements in boot time is, I think, much less valuable to user than an excellent suspend/resume experience (which my MacBook Pro does very well).
I agree that suspend/resume cycle makes a huge difference. Sugar's s/r cycle is *very* impressive. Given that it already works in Sugar, I'd imagine achieving that in GNOME shouldn't be that much of a stretch.
For suspend/resume on the XO to be supported in Fedora, the patches for OLPC power management *must* get into the upstream kernel first. And that was dependent on also getting the geode gpio stuff detangled from what I remember.
