How does calling it FC 3 vs FC 2.1 change anything?  Version numbers are just a convenient way to refer the group of packages.  I saw the same mentality when RHL 9 was announce when everyone assumed it would be RH 8.1.  Suddenly a person that thought RH 8.1 was going to be wonderful said RHL 9 would not be.

It's going to be the third release of Fedora Core, so Fedora Core 3 is appropriate.
