I mentioned this elsewhere, but perhaps a name change from "core" should 
be made to avoid confusion with "Fedora Core". My suggestion was "base 
operating sytem", maybe "minimal operating system", or even "minimal 
boot environment" :)
And "base" could become "minimal installer/developer environment"... 
still thinking... but the idea to suggest that it isn't for normal users ;)
