I agree with this. Often when I hear people make disparaging remarks
about Fedora, using terms like "unstable", or "bleeding-edge", or
"unreliable", and I ask them to elaborate, they almost always end up
describing "rawhide", but use the name "Fedora". They don't know what
"rawhide" is, but any negative connotations they've acquired, they've
attributed to "Fedora", not to "rawhide". Granted, this is due to
misunderstanding, but it leads me to agree that the name "rawhide"
isn't important.
