Agreed -- I asked for opinions regarding dropping the "fedora-" prefix 
on fedora-devel already. Only one comment yet ("drop it"), with yours 
that makes two now. I tend to drop the fedora- prefix, too.

Seems a lot of people prefer to have a host like lists.fedoraproject.org 
as that makes it obvious that you write to a list. I agree with those
