I can't imagine how they'd pose a problem, but clearly nobody foresaw this train coming either. Err the fedora 19 voting for names started around the release of F18 alpha. Its been set as this for around 6 months already, I suspect its only become an issue with people starting to create images etc.
It isn't applied anywhere till branch. Rawhide always uses the release name 'Rawhide'. Even though it's voted on a long way ahead of time, the new release name is only applied in the tree at branch time. Several people were using Rawhide considerably in advance of branching - including myself - and the problems showed up right when we branched and the new fedora-release package was rolled.
