Same here. I doubt anyone will be fooled by a name change, what matters is the actual state of the repository not naming tricks. All renaming will win us is lots of internet pages stating newname = rawhide and repeating baby eating anecdotes. So actually counter productive, the new name will start with all the historical badwill (because that's the easy reporting part) and none of the recent improvements. Good reputation must be earned, magical tricks do not work (even lavishly funded renaming marketing campaigns have little effect, the best one can do is to acquire a brand with lots of goodwill and try to subsume another in it). OTOH bikesheding is always fun. Just don't expect miracles.
