using the same reason you built up for the project name, CentOS-Extras
seems a much better fit since thats the distro its going to target and
be built on.
Using Fedora in the name is a really bad idea, imho. Its going to be
very misleading to the users as to whats going on. I've actually had >
100 emails from people looking at centos.karan.org/ as to where they can
find the packages for CentOS ( they seem to look at the Fedora Extras
word and assume the pkgs wont work on CentOS )

Because Fedora is the name of the distro, thats going to be very confusing.
