I agree with a couple of comments above me: don't change the name.

The change of the name happens usually in two situations:
1. the brand is so damaged that it seriously limits the business (e.g.
Malaysian Airlines after those two unfortunate crashes).
2. the nature of the product is being radically changed.

I think neither is the case here. Rawhide has very little awareness
outside the core community (mostly contributors), so it can't have
damaged branding there, and I think it's very easy to deliver the
message to our core users that Rawhide should be more usable now. No
name change necessary.
And I also don't think that the nature of Rawhide is going to change
radically. If we decided to make a stable rolling release from it, then
yes, change of the name would be appropriate.

I like the current name, it's unique, it has history. Don't change it.
