I am not suggesting that we slap logo(s) over everything, simply include
a clear definition to the user of brand at the point they start using
the system.
Genuine question: why do you feel the login screen is a good place to
promote any kind of positive brand association?
This is the entry point to the Fedora user experience. Having the logo
on the sign in screen is conceptually similar to having a sign on the door.
All I usually want to do
from that screen is to get out of it as quickly and seamlessly as
possible. Under this perspective, having it plainly unbranded and
focused exclusively on its task — get me to my session and my work —
makes sense to me.

From a usability perspective, I fail to see how a subtle logo here
makes it harder to use. Having some user testing the hypothesis that a
logo reduces productivity of the login screen would be a good place to
start before removing whole elements.
Finally, a question. If we don't have the sign the doorway to Fedora,
then where should the name of the brand be presented? I think it would
be a step backwards to have the OS brand mark polluting the main
interface of the desktop that a user stares at for 8 hours a day.
