This is a pretty much a gigantic tangent to CentOS design, but...

I expect that this will change now that we've ditched release names, and
because we're working on presenting separate Cloud, Workstation, and Server
varients with individual identity. I think we'll probably work more on a
consistent Fedora design to tie everything together, while each "product"
grows a unique identity underneath that.
