I'll see your Fedoraphiles and raise 2 more: Fedoraphiliacs

Hmm. Sounds like a disease ... :-)
It would probably be translatable as "One who has an abnormal attraction to Fedora" (c.f. Necrophiliac)

Maybe there could be several collective nouns:

Fedorallergics: People who break out into a rash at the very mention of it (Ubuntu users? ;o)
Fedoraphobics: People who hate Fedora, but use it anyway.
Fedoraphiles: People who like Fedora
Fedoraphiliacs: People who like Fedora a little too much.
