Hi,
For the first time, Fedora release name have non-ascii and pelican

Could we consider change release name from "Schrödinger's Cat" to
"Schrodingers Cat" or other name that not have this additional
problem ?
I'd rather we fix things to handle this case than paper it over by
changing it.

I would very much like that we paper it over right now, unless you
propose to discover and fix every single problem it causes by tomorrow,
when I want us to start rolling TC images.
If by right now you mean until we get TC out (or even until we get alpha
out), I wouldn't be opposed to that. These sort of bugs really are
something that need to be fixed and this release name is a good candidate
for doing so... but the time from alpha to beta is appropriate for fixing
bugs so it's okay if we defer fixing them for a little while.

Well, look, my point is that sometimes our commitment to 'fixing things
the right way' appears to verge on bloody masochism.
You want to set up a side project to spin some images with crazy release
names and see what breaks and fix that, then you know, go for it. But
I'm trying to ship an operating system that works here, and leaving
something we know is causing all kinds of problems in the problematic
state just so we can keep finding exciting new problems to fix does not
suffuse me with joy.
If we have to compromise on just papering it over for Alpha, I mean,
_fine_. But seriously: sometimes papering it over is just the right
thing to do.
