See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide

IMHO, we should drop the scare mongering and provide people interested
in rawhide with facts to decide themselves. ;) 

Are you someone who: 

- Likes lots of updates? (rawhide gets hundreds every single day)

- Good at troubleshooting when things go wrong? 

Rawhide has breakage from time to time. I don't find it to be all that
bad these days, but there are times when things break, and you will
have to look at what updated, see if downgrading works, and gather
information to file bugs. In some cases you may have to work around a
bug or problem until it's fixed. 

- Likes to figure out, or is at least not bothered by interface changes?

Since rawhide gets new versions of things, interfaces change. Do you
mind looking around your mail program to see where a feature you used
has gone, do you mind having to re-learn / figure out new software all
the time?

One way to try things out is to run rawhide in a vm of some kind. That
would get you a feel for the rate of change and issues with the stack
of packages you use normally. 

Good luck, and do report any rawhide issues here or test list or
bugzilla.
