Yes, more people running rawhide would be great.

I think 1) the more people know about this and 2) the easier it is to
activate) the better.

For #1, how about posting also to fedora-devel, maybe get it on Fedora
Planet and let Jon at lwn.net know?

For #2, how about adding an rpm to rawhide to enable this secondary
repo? So people can just 'yum install rawhide-kernel-nodebug'?
