Even thou I never looked for a list of what's enabled in rawhide, I'd be
surprised if other distros do not have something similar. They may be in

some test suite, but about comparing and tuning. I may try to arange one
old PC with "out of the box" rawnhide to run periodicaly e.g. the Phoronix
test suite and publish the results - this will provide comparison. Let's
see, if it'll be useful.
