In addition, "Fedora Linux" is no better than "Fedora" at distinguishing it
from CoreOS, which is also "Linux" (actually, a GNU/Linux distribution like
Fedora), or EPEL, which sits on top of Red Hat Enterprise *Linux*. Adding
"Linux" to the name of the main product does nothing to differentiate it
from the other products.
