Fedora 17 is to be known as Beefy Miracle, which is a contentious break from the Fedora tradition of giving each release a name that shares a relationship with the name of the previous release.

The virtue of the name is that it is a meme that has been circulating for some time, and is meant to be a bit of fun. "The user will be amused by the constant presence of the Hot Dog.

This is probably the best eexplanation I've seen recently of the genesis of Fedora and RHEL and the relationship between the two. It's not concise, but it is detailed and, AFAIK, quite accurate. I wish I could get all the folks who love to hate Red Hat and compare the company to Microsoft to read and understand this.
