OK, so it's the Fedora Project, but is it still called Red Hat Linux?

Why not call the whole thing "Fedora Project" and then the Linux Kernel 
release of the Fedora Project could be called "Fedora Linux" ?  And if 
such time arrives that a BSD kernel based release comes out, it can be 
"Fedora BSD"?  Calling the OS "Fedora Project" will confuse 
customers/vendors/media to no end, making them think it's something all 
of it's own, not Linux based...

Of course, I can just hear some people clamoring for "GNU/Fedora *"...
