The live 12-Beta-RC2 images use shorter names like

images use the longer names, the live F10 images use the shorter
names,
the live F9 images use the longer names. Any reason for the
switching?
Live image creation tools use the iso name as the isofs label, and that
label has a hard limit of 32 chars. Some of our spin names have rather
long names, so I have to truncate something somewhere. It gets
particularly bad when doing a snapshot or beta release as the term
"Beta" or "Snap#" gets added to the string. Usually there is enough
string length for final releases to expand F12 to Fedora-12 simply
because the "Beta" or "Snap#" is no longer necessary.
