They are smart - and usually don't start the major work until close to
release. I'm sure they are doing the work beforehand, but rawhide
changes so much - a lot of stuff has to be rebuilt for no other reason
than it needs it.

With respect to them treading where others fear to go, my understanding
is that they do in fact follow the IP laws of the country where they are
located - just like Fedora needs to follow IP laws within the United
States.
