Right, so some of the time people call it "Fedora X" and some of the time 
people call it "Sillyname" (or maybe "Fedora Sillyname"). And that's a 
good thing for helping people (especially new users) to understand what 
we're about, which releases are which and in what order they come?

Yes, and put off potential new users like me who find the whole thing very 
cliquey and unfriendly because they're interested in doing something 
useful with their computer, not trying to remember that Potato is newer 
than Carrot, but older than Turnip. Or work out that an upgrade from 
Radish to Cucumber might be possible but awkward due to the 3-release gap, 
whilst Parsnip is now unsupported, Ginger is a beta release and Onion is 
actually a vegetable, not an operating system.

I'd rather eat the entire CD respin, disc by disc.
