It kills a well known brand and all marketing efforts of the past.
Brand stays - it will be Fedora, or better Fedora Project as vendor. Just
product will have different names but can still contain Fedora in name.
And
the KDE one
didn't really worked in the end everyone just calls it (the desktop) "KDE".
I'm aware of that but as I said - it was due to communication/marketing
mistakes.
