I tend to agree, so long as it's not offensive (some on that list would
have been - the names of disabilities or diseases), or so stupid as to
turn people away (e.g. I wouldn't call it "lemon" or "cactus" if I
wanted people to use it).

Hmm, that sounds more like the silly games (*) our opposition politics
play, trying to claim that attention to one thing diverts attention away
from everything else, as if a team of people are only able to do one
thing at once.  I'd be very surprised if everyone who makes Fedora into
what it is was completely sidetracked from doing that task while trying
to work out what to call the next one.

* Over here, in Australia, anytime some politician wants to divert
attention away from anything, gossip leaks to the press about
redesigning the flag.  The media falls over itself about it, and the
media seems to be the only thing that so single-minded that it can only
do one task at a time.

Oohh look, a talking frog...
