You will have to call it something else otherwise it would be a 
trademark violation ;-)

Fedora Board does not have the ability to command volunteers. People do 
the work involved and then ask Fedora Board to endorse an existing 
effort. That's how existing sub projects has done. That's how Fedora 
Legacy did it as well. The point is that you have to demonstrate that 
there are people involved who are willing to put in the effort required 
to maintain a release for a longer period of time.
