I can't remember if the marketing value of slogans has been touched on in the past, and if it has, I seem to have missed it (sorry). But as I mentioned in another post, I don't think the slogan is as important as the release name and, as such, the slogan tends to be forgettable (without looking it up, what was the slogan for Fedora 9? See?)

Yes, it's still an option. My plan was to 1) figure out what to do
for an F14 slogan and then 2) come up with a long-term plan. Are you
suggesting not having a slogan for F14, or not having a slogan at all,
or both?
