What you are describing is pretty close to rawhide-without-the-breakage.
Lifting rawhide to the level where it can be used by the class of user
you describe will be good for everybody, since it will also give us more
time to create polished releases, without having to fight rawhide fires
all the time. Thankfully, people are hard at work to make rawhide more
usable day-to-day, see the autoqa efforts.

I don't see how this has anything to do with pushing directly to stable,
though.

PS I think I must have read some ~100 mails from you in this thread
today. Maybe it is time to slow down and take a break...
