I tend to agree, so long as it's not offensive (some on that list would have been - the names of disabilities or diseases), or so stupid as to turn people away (e.g. I wouldn't call it "lemon" or "cactus" if I wanted people to use it). > Sorry, don't get it.

Hmm, that sounds more like the silly games (*) our opposition politics play, trying to claim that attention to one thing diverts attention away from everything else, as if a team of people are only able to do one thing at once. I'd be very surprised if everyone who makes Fedora into what it is was completely sidetracked from doing that task while trying to work out what to call the next one. * Over here, in Australia, anytime some politician wants to divert attention away from anything, gossip leaks to the press about redesigning the flag. The media falls over itself about it, and the media seems to be the only thing that so single-minded that it can only do one task at a time.
