Maybe not in fedora as we usually call the release by its number (6 ,7 ,8 ...) but some other people rather call it by its codename, for example ubuntu users (now please dont start flaming about this comment... keep reading). If the marketing team try to make a good name out of fedora, and reach to the most people out there that could be a potential user (also including those ubuntu users... we cant ignore that market) showing the benefits of fedora, i think we are screwing things up with this codenames slection...
