Oh please... you're always talking about making life of developers/maintainers easier, so your apparent lack of regard for the people doing the testing seems a teeny weeny bit hypocritical. Don't you think that testers would rather not stumble over bugs which were easy to avoid in the first place had the maintainer spared a thought or two more on what he did? I'd rather have testers spend their time on spotting harder to find issues than on needlessly repairing their systems. Yes, Rawhide by its nature will break things eventually, but that's a matter of probability because it is the place where new (untested!) things get introduced. It shouldn't be a matter of carelessness on behalf of developers/maintainers.
