We want to pursue this topic for F41, so we should start now.
There is a new initiative from GLB in the Fedora Server Matrix Channel.

to the "Everything" network installer on fp.o. I'm wondering if we should
consider renaming "network installer" to "online installer" because
I've seen people confused about what is meant by "network". I've
encountered people who think it is for PXE booting. I guess, to be consistent, such a
rename would also translate the "Server network installer" to the "Server
online installer". Otherwise, I don't think any other groups would be affected.

So, an idea is to use something like:
Fedora-Server-40-offline-x.y.-<arch>.iso long name: Fedora Server Edition release
40 local fully offline installation
Fedora-Server-40-online-x.y.-<arch>.iso long name: Fedora Server Edition release
40 local online installation
The offline / online idea is an interesting one.
I'm not sure how well it translates to non english language areas.
But I suppose 'DVD' and 'network' aren't any more clear there.
We had a releng ticket once ago:
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11089
It’s resolved regarding the Checksum file naming for F40 (didn’t test it yet).
So we should aim to modify the name and get rid of DVD and unify the naming structure:
Fedora-Server-<rel>-<method>-<x.y>-arch.<filetyp>
40 offline x64_86 iso
online arch qcow2
kvm raw.xz
I know we use kvm, but perhaps we should call this 'virt' ?
Image checksum
IMHO, it's too late for this for f40... we are already in final freeze.
But we should make any F41 changes/plans as soon as we can in rawhide so
it could make the f41 release.
