Thats quite the complexity to try spinning the tree, find broken deps, drop 
out packages, try again, rather, rinse repeat.

Look, rawhide is just a work in progress, a snapshot of what happened the day 
before.  We can't aways have a completely stable tree.  Trying for that is 
the road to insanity.  This is why we have test releases where we freeze 
things to get the tree into a sane state.  Could we do more frozen iso 
releases?  Possibly, depending on the build system we use and how freezes can 
be handled.
