If you have an important workstation/server, you really shouldn't be
running from Rawhide.  Things get out of sync, break, get your cat
pregnant, etc. all the time.  You can't expect real stability until the
few weeks prior to release when everything freezes and the various
glitches are worked out.  If there was any mandate to keep Rawhide
stable at all times, it would be the equivalent of production and they
would have to put out Beta/RC releases for Rawhide!  Then we'd never see
anything go anywhere.
