This is something GregDek and I are working on.  This has to be nailed
down as well before we start allowing OEM pre-installs of Fedora with
any kind of modification.  One of the aspects of this is can we legally
call something Fedora if it includes bits from Core and Extras.

So nobody said anything about my suggestion, Fedora Linux which is a
combo of Core and Extras components.  Targetted rolls can insert the
target name between, Fedora Office Linux, Fedora Server Linux, etc...
Is there a reason we can't use the term Linux in the name?
