Then the question is "Why people do not use rawhide", and "how can we
fix the issue so people use it". Maybe that's just perception, maybe
there is real recurrent issue to fix one way or another.

I do not run it, so I cannot judge, but I think the first step to fix
something is to know the exact problems to fix. If the issue is "too
much breakage", how can we ensure the most annoying issues are prevented
( I am pretty confident in autoQA personnaly ) ?

And also, if rawhide start to be more used, we should ensure if doesn't
divde the community in 2 groups ( as I have seen some people complain on
others distributions that stable release are neglected because devs run
"$dev_distro" and not the stable release )
