Which is pretty bad plan...
You want to have Rawhide being used by skilled people - to catch bugs early,
not just a week before new Fedora release.
But if the quality of Rawhide will go to the road of trashing people's hard drives -
skilled developers will leave Rawhide and will
go for another distro.
I just hope there is minority of Fedora people who believe this is the right thing to
do....
IMHO every package maintainer should seriously care about its package and always test it
himself FIRST and avoid releasing packages
with obvious killer bugs.

I tend to agree with Kabelac. There has to be *some* testing that the developer
is doing. He/she can't just throw in a bunch of
new code and then let 'er rip, right?
