It seems to me that continually having to direct people to a script to

door locks don't work - here's a coat hanger."
Its rawhide dude. Things are in a constant state of flux and we don't impose
any barriers from the developer to get new packages out. Once FC6 is
released, updates to FC6 will be handled in a way that prevents the updates
repo from having broken deps (most of the time *wink*). Rawhide is well raw,
deps will break, and if you're brave enough to play with it, you are expected
to spend a little effort to plow through it. And if it breaks, you get to
keep all the pieces.
Yum still should be able to break into a mode where it would install the
packages that can safely be installed, instead of just dying with a
complaint. Since yum is the base for pup and pirut, the features would
increase the ease of there use.
I tried apt before and it is not the answer. Improving yum functionality
seems a better solution.
Regarding rawhide, I expect some dep problems. I would rather have a
better program upgrader and installer though to trek the wagon trails.
