I believe it to be a matter of policy. If the board allows Karsten's 
House of Spins to host a spin with a fedora mark, they can. And you 
could call it fedora. Since the expectation is that you do not get 
hosted in the spin repo without the mark, and that they probably will 
not grant a mark to KHoS then it will seem as if you are required to be 
hosted from spin.fedoraproject.org.
