Do you think QA happens by magic? If there are features you really want to
see working then you can make a difference by participating in rawhide.
For example, I wanted to be able to use full disk encryption, so I did a lot
of testing of that feature during the rawhide cycle just ending. I provided
feedback to the anaconda and mkinitrd developers who were able to fix
problems that I ran accross. I did something similar similar when PATA disks
were going to be handled by the same system as SCSI devices. There was
actually an issue with my specific controller card that was fixed by the
time the rawhide cycle ended.

That might actually be an appropiate phrase for Fedora. If there isn't
something you love about Fedora, it probably isn't the right distribution
for you.
