+1 on this. I think this is too rushed and un-thought-out. I don't
really see how this could really be such a benefit, but I do see the
potential for confusion/offense among some users. Personally I wouldn't
care, but objectively speaking I could see how people would think it was
a little questionable.
So, I vote "no" as well. If we start working now, we can have something
much better for FC7, which really isn't far away.
And in fairness, we can turn out an update to fedora-release-notes
package with this kind of material during the FC6 cycle if no one wants
to wait until FC7.
