Could we do periodic table + a modifier of some sort that isn't
alliteration? Would that help alleviate trademark concerns? I love
having some connection between science and Fedora, it seems natural.
Maybe we could do the element corresponding to the release number, and
have the community choose a modifier? Although I think a lot of the
cooler names are in the numbers we've already passed :(
Also Chromium will be interesting :(
