[fab] Fedora Core Updates -- "respins"

At the Fedora Unity Project we have begun scripting the creation of 
updated ISO images for FC5, we are testing what we hope to be our first 
public release this week.

We have some questions related to what is acceptable naming, our current 
images are named the same as the original release with our project name 
and the date of the snapshot appended, for example the original is 
FC-5-i386-DVD.iso and our's reflects the may 12 snapshot date 
FC-5-i386-DVD-Unity-20060512.iso. It was our original goal to call these 
resulting images "Fedora Core Respins by Fedora Unity." Is this flying 
to close to the source?

Second question comes to infrastructure, are there any hardware or 
bandwidth resources available to the community at large? Using our group 
as an example, we are a small group that is funding all of our 
adventures out of our own pockets. Hosting something like and updated 
ISO would break us and cripple our connections making bittorrent the 
only option.
