Shouldn't rawhide become more stable over time ? I mean it is falling apart at the moment.
There are no solid 100% expectations from rawhide. It can break at any time, and potentially in very serious and unexpected ways. As time goes on and a release nears, generally speaking, rawhide does become more and more stable as a whole, but individual components very well can still break at any given time. A single one character typo in the kernel, X, GNOME, a shell script, etc. can totally trash a system or otherwise make it unuseable. Fortunately such occurances are not a daily event, but they do happen.
- SELinux doesn't work cause it doesn't allow programs to use sendto (hence RPC/NFS is gone) - audio mixer is death - evolution crashes and has missing icons - gnomepanel crashes randomly - teminal font doesn't work for ncursus And i am sure there are other new problems, that got in after Test2, it seems after every test release there is added a bunch of unstable software, no wonder it is never going to be ready on time :-/ Before somebody points out that rawhide is a "play ground", I know, but at the moment I am just a bit frustrated with it because for me less and less things work with rawhide :-/
