When Fedora 7 was about to be released, there was a long and serious discussion about how to rename it but we took the easy way out and decided to call it "Fedora Package Collection" along the lines of GCC being called "GNU Compiler Collection". Dropping the "C" would have broken the upgrade path for RPM. Rahul -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
