I think that until they are decoupled from the kernel Fedora would have /boot/dtb be a symlink to the latest installed kernel. once its decoupled it would be the location where the dtbs are installed.
If /boot/dtb is THE dtb to use, does more than that need to be specified (at least from a bootloader perspective).
/boot/dtb/ is the directory that contains all the dtbs. omap and other platforms, have a findfdt function that will tell you the expeted dtb filename for the board. we just need to put them in a know location.
I think what you've been describing is a very good idea... but that's not what Rob wrote (" If /boot/dtb is THE dtb to use").
Seems I was not clear initially. my proposal is not to make /boot/dtb the dtb to use but to make /boot/dtb/ the directory to place for all distros to place all dtb files in.
The hardware vendor would be free to use the dtb we as distros provide or one they provide by default. This choice can be overriden in the boot config file.
