I seem to remember someone in a Fedora IRC channel mentioning that the only reason we still have a release name is that we're almost certain someone's code will break if we change the format of /etc/fedora-release. ;)

That's not really an excuse, as the "release name" used in such files could be the same as or derived from the version name, eg "Fedora17" or "F17". ;)

Oh, come on. A bit of innocent fun is warranted after the hard work that goes into a release.
