So the answer to both those questions is, AIUI, kinda the same: GNOME
wants the testing run on GNOME OS.

https://os.gnome.org/

which is (supposed to be, I don't know how closely it meets the goal
ATM) a nightly live GNOME image with the latest versions of everything
in it.

Testing that is much more useful to upstream than testing Rawhide,
because we certainly aren't updating all the bits of GNOME in Rawhide
nightly. But if it's not built on Fedora (I don't think it is), it may
well have differences in theme and font configuration that might make
Fedora's openQA needles not match, which is the problem I'm concerned
about with sharing the tests.
