I think it feels like a bigger change than it is. In fact, I think the
case may well be the same for RHEL; RHEL seems to use ASSIGNED in the
same way Fedora does (i.e. it's abused to mean 'Triaged').

That makes it a bit double-edged - it's not a big change to make, but
it's also not a big deal not to change...
