This would encourage people to use the unstable distribution, which by
definition isn't considered ready for prime time. The truth is that
there are tradeoffs; a one-word name just isn't going to capture those
tradeoffs. If anything, the right term for unstable might be "head" or
"tip" -- or would that be experimental?
But what do I know? I'm just a random user. It does seem to me that
we've had the name game a few times, and every time a dev has strongly
indicated that we should leave well enough alone.
