Just to expand on the history here (Because it's somewhat important I
think): The reason this isn't fas4 or fas-something is that it's a
different approach. fas is a complete account system. It handles the
data itself and does everything. Its the 'source of truth' for account
data currently, with other things querying it or syncing with it (ipa
and ipsilon). Noggin on the other hand is just a frontend. It's source
of truth for data is ipa. It talks to ipa and has that handle and store
the data, it's just a frontend over that with a api part to allow things
to talk to it, and it in turn to talk to ipa. 

Doing things this way means that noggin can be much smaller and less
complex, it's just a interface, it doesn't need to be a complete
identity provider, and can depend on the already existing and well
maintained IPA for that.

The project name is NOT AAA. It is Noggin. The current FAS is actually
Version 2. There was a FAS3 project for about 10 years that got put aside
over and over again due to other priorities. Since the original FAS as a
sort of anti-kerberos/anti-ldap and this is actually a bunch of covers to
kerberos/ldap it felt insulting to call this FAS4. So a completely
different name was decided on.

That said, I agree we shouldn't use three letter acronym's without
definitions.. the problem is that the terms Authentication, Authorization
and Accounting for AAA have been in use at various level since I think the
1990's in security circles and if you are working that all the time, you
just short cut it. [The original use I heard in the early 1990s' of AAA was
a joke on the fact that it was as ubiquitous as AAA in road services and
you probably ended up in AA if you worked too much on it. ]

That may be true, but whenever I see it mentioned I have no idea what it
means. For example, here in the US we have the AAA - American Automobile
Association (http://aaa.com) so as a name for a new project it's really
overloaded in my brain.

Why not paint the shed FASv2 :)

It's the project intended to replace FAS.

https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/aaa-fas-replacement-project-update-2/
https://github.com/fedora-infra/freeipa-fas

It stands for "Authentication, Authorization, Accounting".

Seems to be the same "AAA" as what you'd find in the video gaming space: 
something that is high budget and/or high quality.



Hopefully it also doesn't have any surprise mechanics!
