Mo,
  There's always going to be people who are hateful. Right now I'm less 
concerned with them and more concerned with time wasted and noise 
generated.

Rather than focus on whether or not the names are silly or detrimental to 
fedora's 'brand' let's focus on whether or not we need them or if the time 
spent on them is a good trade to what value we might derive from them.
