As per internal discussion today, this is definitely something we want to do - thanks for filing this

We need to select a better name, and as already pointed out, there are some nontrivial dependencies, but we're working on it

I liked Bazaar’s default name — “trunk”. It fits much better with the concept of “branches”.

Note that this bug is specifically about the default branch of Launchpad itself, not about other repositories hosted on Launchpad (where in general the default branch name isn't up to us anyway, since it's typically created client-side).
