That would be "bleeding edge". Its entirely possible to having cutting

rawhide, test releases and updates-testing and bug triaging to get
feedback and fixes faster are some of the possible ways to improve it.

There shouldnt be "unofficial fixes" in it now.

There is no beta releases for Fedora. Only test releases.
