There is a lot of active development and churn going on in Rawhide right
now, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is broken quite often, with
different bugs in each case. But if you're hitting the same bug
repeatedly over a long time, yup, file it.

Also, I guess it can't hurt to send an impromptu note to test@ if you do
a successful install from a nightly, and say 'hey, I did an install with
nightly 2014-xx-xx and it worked!', or whatever - that could be a handy
pointer for others.
