And the problem with this is following Rawhide will inevitably work
flawlessly on the spare test box, but upon updating your critical
primary machine to the final release, it fails miserably:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487432

Unless your test box is an exact duplicate of the same hardware,
Finagle's law dictates This Will Never Work. (Not even "Both are r300"
is good enough. :P)
