This is partly a question of whether Rawhide *should* be an installable
release.  For me, one way of answering that would be to ask the
installation developers whether they intend (and are able) to actively
support/maintain an installable rawhide in addition to the active
Branched release (Fedora 14).

For test, I'd much prefer focusing our energy on ensuring the Branched
release meets the Fedora release criteria.  Part of which includes using
different package repos during installation.  Using the branched release
installation images to install a rawhide package set is a perfectly
valid way to install rawhide packages.

Thanks,
