The mirrorlist already uses the name 'rawhide', and I've updated the
publiclist mirror pages to say 'rawhide'.  So, it's just a matter of
changing the fedora-development.repo file to say [rawhide] instead of [development].

[development]
name=Fedora - Development
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0


We'll have another reason to change the fedora-release package
soonish, to enable failovermethod=priority on the mirrorlist results,
as soon as a couple changes land in python-GeoIP and mirrormanager.
It would make sense to roll this rename into that update so as to not
churn too many times.
