That's why I'm only doing this in Rawhide (and I would love to have
something akin to Rawhide-testing).

That will never work (long-term) without the cooperation with the
maintainers of the affected packages. I'm happy to help with any issues
caused by the update, but I would leave finding these issues to koschei.

Only other option I can think of is going the Rust route (packages only
in rawhide, anything depending on them must be a module), which I'm not
a fan of.
