I think somewhere along the way netizens appear to think that Rawhide is stable ( or at least for public consumption). I'd think we need to discuss how we can provide more constructive information for developers and send a clear message to non-testers that Rawhide (a.k.a FC5 ) is not for general use.
I really don't have any suggestion has to how we can achieve the latter without offending people, but I'm sure someone will. As for the Former, I'm sure I've seen some documentation on how to write constructive e-mails on fedoraproject.org in relation to testing Rawhide and going about debugging.
Maybe there's some way of redirecting people to the testing documentation before posting ( or at least posting the right details with associated attachments and what not).
I hope this can inspire some constructive ideas to help us all.

That's why it is a test release, to find bugs. Don't use test releases if you expect flawless OS operation and perfect performance. -- Mike A.
