I suggested in a couple meetings and other places that a release-specific slogan that changes every six months doesn't meet the "simplify and amplify" advice that professional marketeer Chris Grams gave us in the Marketing FAD earlier this year. I think Larry may be harkening back to that (or maybe he and I are just simpatico on this?). There's a front web page redesign going on right now. I think it makes more sense for us to invest in a long-term message there that is consistent with Fedora in general, as opposed to one specific release theme like the release-specific slogan. -- Paul W.
