Have we considered that *.fedoraproject.org is precious enough that we
don't want arbitrary names there?
Even if users don't do something malicious or stupid, it is possible
that somebody would create a name that we will want to use for a service
later.
If we really want this, why not do username(a)fedorasomethingelse.org
instead?
I brought
fedorapeople.org and will donate it to fedora. So we have that to
use. it will let us keep them separate.
