I think Red Hat marketing did a very bad job here. While "Fedora" is a
strong brand, it will create too much confusion.
"I installed Fedora, but there is no foo, where can I get it?"
"But it is in Fedora."
"I'm sure it isn't, I just checked again."
"OK, I also checked, it *is* there, are you blind?"
"OK, just to be sure (maybe it has another packagename), I installed
everything, still no /usr/bin/foo. :("
"Everything from Fedora and still no foo? That is strange, BTW how
long did it take to install everything, that must have taken quite
some time."
"No, I have a fast DVD drive and I installed all packages of Fedora
from there"

Why not let Fedora marketing make a sane decision? RH marketing seems
not to know what "Fedora" is.
