I think it would smooth the integration between branches on salsa and branches on dgit.debian.org if both always used codenames. Using debian/sid makes the branch name inconsistent with debian/changelog, which traditionally uses "unstable" not "sid". It also makes debian/experimental an outlier that cannot be made consistent (because there is no character code name for experimental AFAIK). -- Richard
