I think you might be missing the point of running Raw Hide. It might act
funny, it might not work, it might totally break, and the only thing
you're guaranteed is to keep both bits (to borrow a phrase).

This *is* the testing, to see if it might work or not when the
distribution is released. If you don't want software not to work, run a
released version and just keep up with the errata. One of the best
descriptions of testing -- it's almost a manifesto -- was posted to this
very list,
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/phoebe-list/2003-March/msg00140.html. Read that and decide if you want to keep running the risk that "it might NOT work".
