I would gladly sync my data to a non-development version of Fedora and
continue to use rawhide on my main box (and presumably file more bug
reports) if such things were better coordinated. I still do something
similar but usually more to the end of the development cycle ~ last
couple of months or so.
This isn't just for getting better feedback from testers but also making
rawhide a better development environment. The recent yum or glibc issues
in rawhide would have affected a lot of developers too. We haven't had a
shabby job of this at all but we could certainly do it better.
