Nope.  Doesn't have to be a cute anything.

Using pup, however, has a few advantages that I can see:

1. Instantly recognizable as a pup;
2. Correlates to a new technology that will be central to Fedora;
3. Is generating some ideas.

Of course, there's an obvious downside:

1. Might be a little close to "yellow dog" for comfort.

And Mister Frye, now that you've thrown your rock at this idea, you are
hereby *obliged* to put a new idea in the hat.  :)
