[rawhide] ideas to improve rawhide

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings. 

As some of you may know, I switched my laptop over to rawhide and have
been posting a series of blogs about the various issues I have run into
in the last month. 

To recap from those: 

- xfce4-session crash:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=891113
  (work around clearing session cache, it's not shown up again)

- libselinux blow up. This could have caused folks to not be able to
  boot until upgraded/downgraded. Broken package only in for one day. 

- libcdio abi bump with a few broken packages. Fixed in one day.

- xulrunner/firefox broken dep for a day. 

- colord multilib issue. Fixed in one day. 

- iwlwifi slow. Not a stopper, just anoying. (bug 863424)

- gtk3 update makes nm-applet unhappy (bug
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691911 )

- libnl3 abi break. fixed in 2 days. 

- mdadm needs newer dracut. Just needs a rawhide build, should be fixed
  tomorrow. 

So, I've been collecting ideas on how to improve things in rawhide and
have made a wiki page for these ideas. 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rawhide_improvement_project_2013

I know some folks at fudcon were talking about rawhide improvements too,
so hopefully we will see those proposed before too long as well. 

I've tried to suggest things that won't disrupt maintainers much while
making things nicer for consumers. Some of these things I have already
discussed with folks involved and we are going to try and do them,
others are needing more fleshing out/discussion. 

I'm very open to more ideas or thoughts, or comments/people willing to
work on items from the above wiki page. 

Thoughts?
