  Oh, come on now.  Aren't we picking at nits?  I remember the
discussion about the name when it was first chosen and it was brought up
that the word 'fedora' meant something entirely different in some
language (I can't remember which one).
  It's just a name, and it's been around for what, over six months now? 
If people don't know what it is, they'll learn.
