Yeah, I'd say it's actually easier to deal with broken deps by doing the
install-stable-and-update-to-rawhide method than installing rawhide
directly, because the installer really doesn't give you many tools to
deal with broken deps. And if the broken deps are a big enough problem,
we won't actually be able to compose a working Rawhide installer.

yeah, that's how I'd do it. But actually, I don't run Rawhide anywhere.
I tend to switch to the upcoming release soon after the branch event.
