Not even Fedora's official Wiki page is ''trying very hard to kill the notion that "rawhide may eat babies"'' (quoting Jesse). http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide | End users should not use Rawhide as their main day-to-day workstation. | Because Rawhide is a development branch, many changes are not heavily | tested (or tested at all) before being released to Rawhide, and packages | in Rawhide can and do break without warning.
