From 7 the Core repositories will be merged with the distribution and hence it will be called Fedora 7 (as against Fedora Core 7). Quite a few enhancements are slated for release like (as quoted by Max Spevack from Red Hat in the Fedora mail list):
"""
(1) The entire toolchain is free. Every step in the distro creation process is free software, and can take place on hardware that is accessible both to Red Hat employees and the general Fedora community.
(2) Custom spins of Fedora. The primary consequence of (1) is that customized versions of Fedora are now possible to an extent that was not available previously. User-generated Fedora, if you're looking for a buzzword. :-P
Think about some of the possibilities:
+ People in various countries *directly* managing localized spins of Fedora, customized both for language requirements and bandwidth requirements.
+ "Competing" spins of the Fedora Desktop, or server-ready package sets, allowing the best ones to gain popularity and be shared.
+ The ability for a business or a university that uses Fedora to take their own third-party RPMs and create a Fedora-derived distribution that integrates them at build time.
(3) Live CD, DVD, and USB technology. A Fedora spin can be loaded onto various forms of bootable media, which allows users to run their OS without hard disk installation, and gives users the ability to launch the installer with a simple double click. As with what is written above, the tools used for this are all free software, and therefore everything in this space is also fully customizable by users.
(4) Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology has been integrated with the Fedora graphical virtualization manager tool. KVM provides a full virtualization solution, and users have a choice between KVM and Xen, along with Qemu, in this release.
(5) The usual set of upstream changes and improvements that are a part of any Fedora release.

Reading Max's mail makes me feel that Fedora 7 will probably be a revolutionary Linux distribution. You'll have to wait till May 31st to get your hands on this distro.
