Susmit. "Fedora" is clean and appealing. "Fedora > Linux"
doesn't quite have the same ring to it, I am saying if we were to name it Fedora

The Fedora Board will need to make the decision eventually.

Opening issues like this up for a public vote is a Bad Idea for numerous
reasons, most of which should be obvious.

I am sure the board members will consider all the ideas, suggestions, and
arguments made on this list when coming to a consensus on this matter.

I don't think any formal progress on this issue has been made at this point.

afaic, the decision to use "Fedora" has pretty much been settled, though
it's not yet been etched in stone.
