I like the message-of-the-day idea, I think it's a good thing to have anyway. Do you have a concrete idea of how exactly would it work? In the case of stable, there is not much breakage. Maybe the only breakage would be when someone has a machine running stable, and they want to install a new package that they haven't installed before. That wouldn't work after the rename. They'd have to reconfigure pkgutil.conf to point at stable-dead, that's all. What I like about the rename idea is that there is no possible way you can miss this. Also, it forces people to resubscribe to stable-dead if they want to continue using it, creating room for the new stable we'll eventually produce.
