About the names: is there a good overview how the names are related to each 
other? For the old Red Hat names we had
http://web.archive.org/web/20050223032029/http://smoogespace.com/documents/behind_the_names.html
but the Fedora Core names are somewhat unclear. The german Wikipedia has an 
article about that:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_und_Red_Hat_Versionsnamen
But there the connections between the versions is not clear, and the 
connection between Heidelberg, Stentz and Bordeaux is Wine everytime, which 
would be against the rules (and boring!). I tried to go through the mail 
lists, but that was a bit too much to read...

Afaik Bordeaux is also, although not mentioned in the wikipedia, a color - 
therefore the name for 6 could be:
- "Magenta", which is a colour *and* a charakter from the Rocky Horror Picture 
Show
- Ostwald, which is a colouring system (see
http://home.arcor.de/wilhelm-ostwald/ostweng/thomas.htm )
and also the name of the nobel price winner who invented this system.

A name for FC7 could be another charakter from or around the Horror Show or 
another Nobel Price winner.

So far,

Roland
