It's the main branch where things take place. ;)

I don't think you can make branches completely descripive by themselves,
unless possibly you make them really long. 

flatpak_branch_where_stable_flatpaks_are_made_from

rawhide_its_the_branch_for_the_development_version_of_fedora_called_rawhide

So, IMHO, we are overcomplicating it, and we should just use main. 

I suppose it's ok to make 'rawhide' a symref to main, or 'stable' in the
flatpak case...
