That change switched the nightly manifest branch. That is only for nightly builds, but that means that we're still using mozilla-central for development. As central and aurora further diverge, the code that developers are working on and testing the most is less similar to what we're shipping.
If we keep nightly on aurora and master on central, there isn't really effect on the normal developer workflow and nothing needs to be backed out.
