You may recall our Greg DeKoenigsberg interview from Fedora Core 5. There are also the questions from our Mark Shuttleworth interview.

So if you have any questions for Max about Fedora, be sure to post them.

Cool! Yeah, I got one. There's been talk about having a "tickless" kernel, whereas IINM right now it's set at 250 Hz. Some have said 100 Hz is too unresponsive, while 1000 Hz would drain notebook batteries too fast. What is Fedora's stance on this issue? Will you consider forking the distro into a "desktop/workstation version" and a "notebook-optimized version"? Or is the difference negligeable and not worth the effort?
