[I kid on the last one...] Makes sense, although I'm not sure about these specific examples. "Fedora Now" sounds like a good name for the Fedora contributor blog we've been talking about having in addition to the magazine. "Current" is too confusing with the current released-release. And see other messages for discussion on Rolling.
