heidelberg is the name of fedora core 3
there was no legal problem with it at all.
stentz will be the name for fedora core 4.
the problem is that even if the name does not seem like it will cause
problems it still needs to be checked out.
The only hold up was that the name needed to be checked, not that the
name was bad in anyway.
everyone, quit overreacting.
