Unfortunately, I am in disagreement to your choice of names. Not only
is that confusing to many users, but how exact would you pronounce
that? If its actually pronouncing the letter and then desktop that
sounds dumb. There's no need to complicate things. Keep the entire
distribution Fedora and perhaps just keep counting up like we've been
doing or maybe what Gentoo does with the years, that's a good idea imo
also. So we could have either Fedora 7, Fedora Linux 7, or something
like Fedora 2007 and then .1 .2 etc.

Please don't complicate things or make even more stupid names that
sometimes parts of the OSS community are known for. KISS (keep it
simple stupid), and professional please.
