Ambassadors have reported frustration trying to introduce Fedora to new
users because they have no idea what the release names mean and feel
it's an inside joke they aren't welcome to, and struggle to explain them
because of the language barrier. I remember talking to Tatica about this
at LGM when the 'spherical cow' codename was announced.

So maybe non-Fedora people aren't complaining because they have no idea
what's going on or were turned off and went to another distro.
