Rawhide was/is ok. It's fast-paced enough (except during betas of
course;() one can just to a regular apt-dist-upgrade and get all the
security fixes (a lot of fixes for core are tested in rawhide first
anyway). An up-to-date rawhide is not much a security risk I feel - it
breaks enough regular software it should also break most exploits;)

OTOH, I've always felt nervous about fedora.us(...) packages. There are
too many conflicts with Rawhide one could auto-update  them blindly, at
the risk of getting things stale like you noted.

I do hope the new Fedora project will try to get more in sync wit
Rawhide.

Cheers,
