I did for years. On F18 right now, but I'm willing to go back to all Rawhide
all the time.

Here's some important background reading on this topic if you haven't seen
it already: https://lwn.net/Articles/506831/ (Jonathan Corbet's "Left by
Rawhide" article.)

Speaking as a former mirror person, I don't think the mirrors care that
much. The size would grow, but the traffic and churn would be about the
same, since it's nothing _new_, just slower deletion.

Yes, nightly cloud images. Working on getting the non-nightly ones building
and functional first, but having them automatically built nightly would be
great. We can't, reasonably, push them into EC2 nightly, but I'd love to see
this image go into one of the internal clouds nightly and then we can script
up automatic tests against that.
