Which is pretty bad plan...

You want to have Rawhide being used by skilled people - to catch bugs early,
not just a week before new Fedora release.

But if the quality of Rawhide will go to the road of trashing people's hard 
drives - skilled developers will leave Rawhide and will go for another distro.

I just hope there is minority of Fedora people who believe this is the right 
thing to do....

IMHO every package maintainer should seriously care about its package and 
always test it himself FIRST and avoid releasing packages with obvious killer 
bugs.
