It is too generic a name. "Enterprise" simply is not the name of a distribution and not the name of a project either. It suggests that it's extra software specifically for enterprise-level target groups, which is strange when that's only because Fedora packages are built for just another distribution. "Fedora Extras" is neutral in that it's extra packages from the Fedora Project and doesn't say anything about what type of software it might be, as Fedora is also the base name of the distribution. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
