+1 for "fedora" user. Another example is the cirros image which also
uses a "cirros" user.
Also, if you try to log in as root on - I think - Ubuntu (only over
SSH?), it will tell you to use the ubuntu user instead and exit.
That's obviously very useful if you don't know / remember the user
name. So unless we choose to enable root login, that'd be nice to
have, too.

I would hardly say that "ec2-user" is standard, it's
just what Fedora and Amazon Linux (maybe a few others) have used up to this point. CentOS
uses the root account, Ubuntu uses "ubuntu" and Debian is "admin".
I like the idea of using "fedora" for all public and private cloud images.
