This issue brings up a interesting question: Which board has the power to influence and adjust this particular naming scheme in our new "merged" world? FESCo or the Fedora Board?
Ultimately I feel it should be the Fedora board. FESCo is really responsible for making sure the full repo is there, and the Distribution cabal (hopefully there will be more than just me) is responsible for taking content from that repository and creating installable iso sets from it.
I think it's a little more complicated than that. Or maybe not. If there are two committees, one for the repo and one for the release, they need to work really closely together. The release cabal needs a stable set of packages to build the releases from and the repo cabal would need to enforce that. E.g. feature freeze, string freeze, etc.
My feeling is somehow different. I'd really love to have a clear separation between the group that makes long-term transverse decisions and the group responsible for driving a particular release (with perhaps given Fedora's short lifecycle & usual manager burnout different groups for different releases).
That's the only way you'll get clear release focus
