I would find Wyrmstone feats that are given identical names to SRD feat names very very useful.
Why? Well, I'm sticking with 3e and trying to get set up for a multi-world campaign that visits dozens of campaign settings. I'll be using 3e rules (or a few house rules from Pathfinder) and it would be much easier to convert Wyrmstone to those rules if you have similar names.
I'm also planing on using Spelljammer (and placing the Wyrmstone Campaign Setting as a crystal sphere within the SJ universe). I would treat it as an undiscovered crystal sphere, where the locals use Highsailing and Spelljamming Helms are totally unknown.
But, that isn't important to the people playing with the FantasyCraft rules. You don't really need people like me. But perhaps there are people out there who might want to use the Wyrmstone Campaign Setting in a similar way to the way I want to use the Spelljammer Campaign Setting. Perhaps some of your players might (eventually) want to take Highsailing ships beyond the edge of the known universe and visit other collections of worlds that circle around other suns.
I'm not sure how you would allow that with your rules. And it seems like an epic kind-of-thing that would change Wrymstone forever. So that is probably something to leave until a lot later.
But perhaps the similarity of feat names might allow your players to import Forgotten Realms/Realmspace, Dragonlance/Krynnspace and Greyhawk/Greyspace. All three of those campaign settings are available in 3e rules (and Beyond the Moons or the Spelljammer community should be able to help convert/update the planets added on by Spelljammer).
Obviously you shouldn't limit yourself to this. There are plenty of other space games out there. Dragonstar (if you can still get it) is written for the d20 System. The tech-level would seem to be a bit too high, but that could be toned down for Wyrmstone. On top of that you have Space 1889 and the forthcoming Crystal Spheres game.
Anyhoo, with that in mind - so you know I am biased, I vote for use of SRD feat names, where possible.
