I regretted my original naming shortly after introducing it (IIRC, git-svn was the first refs/remotes/* user). However, this risks breaking existing code and 3rd-party docs/tutorials. How about we put a big warning of impending change in there for now and wait until git 1.9/2.0 to make the actual change?
