Does this mean, that the respin will consist of what is currently in
rawhide as of today (10/16)?

Or what is currently frozen, and just that tree there will be fixes and
*that* is what is respun? (In other words, if I had did an install test
from rawhide over the weekend, would I be ahead of the game or even with
FC6 release?)
