That's kinda the problem. ;-)

No, it's not a problem. If you have a problem with it, fedora-websites-list is not the place to take the problem. I recommend speaking with FESCO or the Board.

Seriously, I think the naming also sucks, but it is not a good reason to make the bias even worse.

So I suppose we should also have the Fedora emacs spin and the Fedora VI spin and the Fedora open office spin and the fedora koffice spin and the fedora abi work and gnumeric spin and the fedora enlightenment spin and the fedora reiser fs spin and the fedora ext spin and they should all be equal because users need a choice!

I have not yet consumed enough coffee at this point to even consider the combinatorics of the above.

Let's not confuse our users with holy wars.

What you call holy wars, I call freedom of choice.

What you call freedom of choice, I call overwhelming potential users and scaring them away with too many choices. If you ask someone on the street which desktop environment prefer they will likely have no idea what you are even talking about, and I doubt they would know to care either way when going to download.
