I'm somewhat of the opinion that code should never land in Rawhide
that isn't stable upstream (or expected to be within that Fedora
release cycle). Code that isn't ready and won't be ready in time
belongs in a COPR.
I understand the sentiment, but I think it does not benefit the
project when it comes to Fedora's perception as a leading development
platform.
Rawhide especially I'd love to see being adopted as a hotbed for early
prototype and integration work (think: build me a package after every
upstream commit, in the extreme), even for software that eventually
might not make it.
Thanks for the feedback.
