How risky is rawhide. I used to build it back when the fedora number was 
a single digit. The I was doing a lot of socket based threading and it 
had the up to date libraries with sse2 etc. in it.

I was writing pseudo real time code to run an adaptive optics system on 
the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT). That was before the bubble burst, 
budgets were cut, and I retired:-(
