It is but based on this thread, it can lead to issues in everything with 
GUI... From Anaconda to GNOME. And I'm not saying overflowing label saying
"dora Workstat" is that big deal, just looking unprofessional. It does not
happen for any Fedora products as far as I know but we hit with other RH
product with very long name...
