You want this change to do that, it will fail to do that.

You aren't going to change not just the 15+ year habits of how people
refer to Fedora, but the even longer habits of how people call Linux
distributions.

Regardless of what their official titles are the public all refer to
them by their simple names - Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, Red Hat,
Centos, etc.

You can change the website, but you won't change how the public names
Fedora.

Which means it won't achieve your stated goal.
