I've never felt "rawhide" was a particularly good name. Unless you're
already familiar with Fedora, it is something whose meaning in the context
of Fedora has to be explained each time. The common meaning of the word
rawhide doesn't have especially positive associations either IMHO.
Using "Rawhide" as the release name of the development branch has been
around for so long that renaming it would cause all sorts of
additional problems.
It's even listed on the disambiguation page for "Rawhide" on wikipedia
... so since this is probably a branding / trademark issue, I'd rather
not conflate it with the discussion about renaming the default branch
in git.
