To be more explicit: by doing the "aliasing" thing we can focus
on updating CI configs, local environment, CI badges etc.

As different people will be involved in doing these changes, each
one with at their own pace, it's nice that thing still work for
everybody.

I remember when we went from "trunk" to "master" some contributors
were too annoyed by being unable to do the "rebasing" we asked them
to do (can't remember if it was GEOS or PostGIS) and just gave up
and run away. This would not happen, as the "rebase" would not be
needed at all.
