Nah, the internet is case-insensitive. And Fedora is a name, starts with
a capital letter.
I personally like the idea of the proper name as well, but the Internet is *not*
universally case-insensitive, actually. The scheme and hostname parts must be
case-insensitive[1], but the rest of the URI may be case-sensitive or
case-insensitive at the preference of the web server. Which is terrible, but
reality.
That said, since hostname is permitted to be case-insensitive, I'd like to
support "Fedora-XXXXXXXX" as the proposed name, because Fedora in our case is a
proper noun (which has specific meaning and emphasis in English, at least). A
fedora is a hat.
Fedora is a way of life :-D
