Fair enough - it is kind of hard to explain what it is a clone of if
you're not allowed to use the R-word, but I'll make a conscious effort
to instead apply a long and convoluted explanation instead in the future
without mentioning the R-word.

Names are easy to change at this stage, and I have a backup name in mind
should it become an issue. :)

In retrospect, that might have saved some re-branding effort, but at
this point weeding out the last of the branding references shouldn't be
too difficult. The redhat-logos package (the only one explicitly listed
that I have in my distro) has already been re-worked to remove all RH
related graphics.
