None at the moment but your answer leads me to think to the worldwide freedom by Fedora. Therefore maximum freedom: at every Fedora release, a community (indian, brazilian, italian, US, ...) one by one chooses a name for Fedora related to the release number.
This can be done by vote.

concerns here:
- Emperors as a theme - in a post-colonial world I think it might be a
bit insensitive to elevate imperialism. Topically, I think free software
is diametrically opposed to 'imperialism' in the form of a single
central entity pushing out proprietary software. I also think that for a
global project, we shouldn't fixate on any one region - the Roman
empire, while encompassing quite a large range, was not global and was
rather Euro-centric.
Surely i didn't think to the "imperialism" when i proposed these names least of all to 'Euro-centric' issues.
However Fedora (like Debian or Arch) is a main distro with many 'derivated distributions' so there is a little of "imperialism" in it. :)

- If we use an ordered series for a theme, there is no theme voting each
release. While I've gotten to the point in my life where I strongly
believe more constructive things could be done with the time and
resources put into voting for names every release, I think the majority
of folks who care would be upset about not getting to vote every
release.

Can you think of some alternative to emperors that has a logical
progression and order? Famous mathematical/scientific constants maybe??
