The problem with that approach is that lots of bugs go unnoticed until

the glibc testsuite and in future we'll be looking to enhance our ABI
checking capabilities. Taskotron (based on a quick read from the
wiki) seems to be a good framework for this.

Yes. My concern is that glibc is using Rawhide as their continuous integration sandbox to shake out bugs as opposed to doing it elsewhere and just taking care of integration of releases when they are ready. If this viewed as a gap that needs to be fixed, that's fine for now.
