This is not true and I have *specifically* pointed you at the policy
page which says it is not true, more than once.
And I have to reiterate my mantra: This plan is a non-realistic
illusion. It simply does not work and will not work.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Rawhide_.2F_devel_.2F_master
For updates to rawhide packages, Maintainers SHOULD:
Try not to push a clearly broken build (breaks the default
buildroot package set, etc)
Note the "SHOULD" - This is the reflection of what I said above.
