Just a small consideration here: Can this thing not be called Rawhide?


Sure. We can colour this master branch whatever colour people want. When people said EPEL rawhide, it was very clear to everyone in the meeting what it meant. However you are right it will cause confusion. If you have some better name we can buy the paint now before the other one dries. 

 
Rawhide is Fedora. I'd like to keep that clear, so when we talk about rawhide in
various places, we don't have to say: Fedora Rawhide (although we often do).

Imagine this conversation:

A: I want to do a major cleanup of %scripts in Fedora.
B: But what about EPEL?
A: I'll do it in Rawhide only.

Having an EPEL Rawhide makes the last statement ambiguous.
