I don't see much benefit from this. First, I disagree that it reflects the process better. In almost all cases I know development is done in the master branch, and changes from there are often either fast-forwarded or cherry-picked into the other branches. Second, I don't see what improvement this would bring. If we were to change the branching pattern, that we have been successfully using for years and that people are accustomed to, there should be some clear reason. A change of the branching pattern is not helpful to this change, because we would still need *some* constant name for the master/rawhide/latest branch, so the new renamed name will still be visible to users and used for various purposes. And mixing the two makes the (already complicated) process of renaming more likely to fail.
