 Currently the directories for install and live images are called "Fedora"
 and "Live", resp. Any reason the install directory can't simply be called
 "Install"? It's more informative. I asked this on the devel list:

 http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-April/150370.html

 but it didn't get much response. There's no rush, of course.

Comment (by rdieter):

 There's much infrastructure that depends on the particular layout and
 naming of these directories.  I'd be *very* hesitant to rename anything
 unless there's some overwhelming reason to do otherwise.

Comment (by robatino):

 Well, the current name is unhelpful to users, and the change would only
 have to be done once. The directory layout wouldn't change, just the name
 of this one directory.

Comment (by robatino):

 Just realized that Fedora/ contains not just install images, but also the
 source image. I suppose the source directory could be moved up one level,
 so you'd have Install/, Live/, and Source/ at the same level. Whatever the
 change is, it's more difficult than I thought (unless one just ignores the
 source image and calls the directory Install/ anyway).

Comment (by jkeating):

 It is a subset of the sources, that is the sources required for the
 binaries in the Fedora/ part.  The Fedora/ part is also a subset of the
 packages, the ones we put on physical media.  They are separated partly
 for export reasons, and partly for convenience of just mirroring the
 install set vs everything.

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix

Comment:

 Since there's no one on rel-eng that seems eager to work on this, and that
 the benefits are not compelling, let's just not.
