Yes, I see a Google logo during bootup. It used to be an Android logo
but apparently now it's just "Powered by Android" at the bottom.

You say that, but what you wanted, you always got, despite people
like me and others saying we didn't like the ideas.
Wait, what? I have seen no changes at all, except the lighter top bar,
and that doesn't really say "Fedora" to me in any way.
Since the last time, we got a default hostname of "fedora"
visible on
the network, for UPnP and mDNS services, the Details panel patch to
show the OS version in the Settings will soon be getting upstream, so
it's not nothing.
The details panel? Are you kidding?
If somebody wants to pick up a low-hanging fruit, making the default
command-line prompt be more colourful and detailed is a good way to
have cheap branding. Those in the know will change it if they don't
like it, Fedora will be more recognisable, and the form will follow
function.
I think this is a good idea, but it's hardly sufficent. I'm not sure
it really fits with the direction Workstation is going — I notice
Terminal isn't even in the default Dash.
