Thanks Stephen, that's constructive. Although I'd still need some
convincing, it would at least have a point, plus would have the extra
advantage of giving those working on the art more creative freedom instead
of being constrained by random wordplay.
I like your logic - if we must have a codename, it at least makes sense to
base it around something which has value. Art = highly visible and
beneficial to users, promotes Fedora in a positive light. In-jokes = does
nothing, possibly causes several negative consequences.
