I understand that for installs/upgrades using anaconda, thus for

but for users that track rawhide, being able to test if bugs are fixed
without doing a local rebuild is handy. Especially for packages that are
not at the core of the distribution. I guess that maybe it isn't very
practical, but the frozen packages in rawhide could be a subset of the
packages, including everything in the minimal buildroot, in some groups,
say @base, @base-x, @code, @fedora-packager, @hardware-support,
@input-methods, @legacy-software-development, @legacy-software-support,
@printing, @system-tools, and their dependencies, and the kernel
(and maybe @admin-tools).
Not really practical, bound to be wrong.
Instead we offer static-repos of the continued package flow for those
people who want to bypass any testing of the freeze content. Those
repos aren't mirrored just yet, and may be in the future, but with our
current resources available, the best way to get things done is to
freeze rawhide.
