"It builds" doesn't necessarily mean it works. In the rawhide case, you might very well submit something that builds but is totally broken. By the time you download the official build and test it locally, it can already be in the day's compose and now you've just inflicted a broken build on all the users. And no, "rawhide eats babies" is not a valid excuse IMHO.

As far as Rawhide goes, IMHO, if it builds, it's good enough for Rawhide.

That is just irresponsible. BTW, there are too few rawhide consumers as things stand; this would make rawhide be russian roulette, but with 5 bullets instead of 1.

Riiight... one tongue-in-cheek comment by the well-known punster Linus leads to distribution wide policy.
