Yeah, but I tend to dislike the practice of forcing a new
idea/subproject to have to distinguish (at a domain level) it's place
in the Fedora universe.  Seems like it adds a lot of overhead to push
past the status quo.

Can't we, with website verbage, control the message we want end users
to understand?  If not, is another domain really going to make that
much of a difference in that message being understood?
