I think those of us who follow rawhide will quickly realize the change
in naming (ok maybe a symbol is vaguely useful, and also needs to be
explained somewhere when people inevitably ask) and move on. Conversely,
someone who is new or hasn't followed "devel" branches before should
just be able to use git how they have elsewhere and it should work.

Summary: easier to make life easier for new developers.
