Help us rebrand rawhide

This is just an initial thought, which might be quite off-target, but how
about "GetGo"?
Here's my thinking. As I understand things, Rawhide is where a Fedora
release originates, so it perhaps describes the purpose quite well.
In marketing terms, it offers some obvious options for calls to
action/slogans. "Get it right from the getGo", for example, has a duality
of meaning: 'ensure correctness from the start' (chiming with the idea of
passing some basic tests first) as well as 'retrieve directly from the
source' (returning to the description of purpose).
"get_go: get it and go make Fedora great" again reflects the use for
development, with the 'get it and go' implying a little more stability than
Rawhide's existing reputation.
>From a design perspective, the visual similarity, at least in the vowels,
with "Fedora", along with the G-duplication might suggest particular
directions for styling.
I've tried to demonstrate various options akin to variable naming, and
here's another, a play on a line of programming code, because who doesn't
want a bit of Lispy homoiconicity?:
(get-go :fedora "development")
Rather than triggering debates about which is best -- obviously it's the
last one :) -- this has actually been to investigate whether all might
work, reflecting the inclusiveness of Fedora's "Friends" foundation.
Of course, feel free to point out any issues. I thought I'd throw it out
there, though.
