A brief Fedora 10 boot analysis.
To reach the 20 Second Startup Feature
this begs the question, and you knew I as going to ask ;), if Fedora wants to reach the 5 second boot that is quite possible on this hardware, even without too insane compromises. (which translates to something like 2 to 3 seconds on a full sized laptop-with-ssd)
If not, I would regret that but it's not something I would have to live without; I can get a fast boot myself quite fine. If so, something needs to happen NOW for F11, with a real serious push for this. It'll involve quite a few people and quite a few packages that need to get things right, but it's not at all impossible nor does it require impossible-for-fedora compromises.
