Josh and I worked on the guidelines last release after encountering
far too many name suggestions that were legally or otherwise
encumbered.  We both hope we'll have a smoother process this release
and that we can hand the Artwork team a name much sooner.

In addition to that, naming suggestions will open very very soon.
Keep your eyes open on the lists for the announcement.

Does the "is-a" relationship between F10 and F11 have to be the 
already-chosen "original code name of Red Hat Linux", or are we 
allowed to come up with a new "is-a" relationship between Cambridge 
and the F11 name?

No. The connection used to get from Sulphur to Cambridge was a
city, so that's the 'is-a' that's out of bounds.
