A fundamental breakage that the relevant developers don't even notice for weeks is another question; as I said, that suggests that people running Rawhide are few and far between. I wasn't thinking about just this case, though. Here's some advice I got in March: > If you are running rawhide ( what now will become F16 ) expect things to > be broken for some time since maintainers wont necessary build/update > components for F16 since all the focus is on branched at the moment ( F15 ).

(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.testers/88881) Even then it occurred to me that, if people are being told to stay away for six months at a time, all is not as well as it should be. Even just waiting from the time of that message until the end of the F15 distraction is two months of down time... Oh well, I was just wondering. I'll stop bugging everybody now.
