​One thing I would like to see is that Fedora's development code could
reach a state where something like openSUSE's Tumbleweed would be possible.
If we could take daily/weekly/biweekly snapshots of the repositories for
people to use as a rolling release like the way the openSUSE folks ​are
doing, I think that would go a long way to enabling a higher scale of
testing of code that makes it into Fedora releases. I don't want use to let
go of normal releases, but I feel that the people who want to have that
"rolling" model should be able to from Fedora and expect a reasonable level
of things working.

If we're able to do something like this, the "rawhide" name could certainly
stay for the development code, but a new name for these snapshots would be
appropriate.
