I believe the history for calling it rawhide was that Donnie Barnes (djb) and Mike Wangsmo (wanger) were cowboys and dealing with daily churned packages was like dealing with a cattle call. [Before we treated out servers like cattle, we did so to our packages.] Of course others put it that it was not about the Rollin' Rollin' song but the chewtoy. In the end, I think that the name should be direct and clear like it was another Edition. This will keep the fights over spacerocket, chewtoy, <cool reference people will not get in 10 years> to a minimum and not confuse our messaging with Editions. I am guessing names like: Now Current Rolling CurrentBuilds RollingRelease Cyberpophagist would be appropriate.
