42 is one of the most quoted pop culture refs in tech that I know of. We nerds don't reference pop culture a lot so we should celebrate it when we can!

I posted this discussion on Fedora Discussion[1] last week, but I'd
like to forward this discussion to devel-list for wider consideration.
For the sake of keeping the conversation in one place, I do ask that
you reply on the Discussion thread, rather than on Fedora Devel,
please.

The number “42” is a significant part of the story of the Hitchhiker’s
Guide to the Galaxy, a classic series of satirical science fiction
written by Douglas Adams. It has a long and enduring history in the
geek lexicon, and it seems to me like the Fedora Project would be
missing a tremendous opportunity to have a little fun with it.
I’d like to propose that we consider bringing back the old Fedora
codenames just this once and declare the release “Fedora 42 (Adams)”,
ideally with a few subtle nods snuck in to the artwork for the
release.
When discussing this on the Fedora Council Matrix channel, Aleksandra
Fedorova also made the excellent suggestion of producing some “Fedora
Linux 42”-branded hand towels (which is another nod to the
Hitchhiker’s series).
