Certainly agree with making the changes first - if a name has a bad
reputation because of how things have worked in the past, if you don't
fix those things, that reputation will just move right onto the new name...

​One thing I would like to see is that Fedora's development code could reach a state where something like openSUSE's Tumbleweed would be possible. If we could take daily/weekly/biweekly snapshots of the repositories for people to use as a rolling release like the way the openSUSE folks ​are doing, I think that would go a long way to enabling a higher scale of testing of code that makes it into Fedora releases. I don't want use to let go of normal releases, but I feel that the people who want to have that "rolling" model should be able to from Fedora and expect a reasonable level of things working.

If we're able to do something like this, the "rawhide" name could certainly stay for the development code, but a new name for these snapshots would be appropriate.
