Yeah, simple. But it'll look funny if it ever plays out to it's full
extent.
contributor: "Announcing the Fedora foo Project!" x <# of announces>
FB: "Erm, no. You need to go correct yourself and say it's a SIG"
contributor: "Sorry, it's really the Fedora foo SIG!" x <announces>
<time passes and the SIG works well>
FB: "Announcing the Fedora foo Project!"
everyone else: "WTH?"
