For Fedora naming - when I remember my first vote for the name - for me personally it was more like "wow, I'm part of Fedora, I can vote for name!" but as it was said - not many people use it for voting or even not influencing it make the name clean... What will be the direct consequences? Design? I'm not sure we're fond of making artwork by name anymore, it's nice, some people still care but it's time consuming etc. (my feeling). For packaging - the name can be just replaced by generic fedora-something... Not many people using it, so it can vanish. But as I said, I still feel it as a part of "us" ;-) But it's not only about the name for Fedora release, also for the other projects coming from Fedora. We have a few projects, that makes feelings even in the US...
