you wouldn't run rawhide, or why you might use a virtual machine, etc.
The point is, it is wrong to say "all developers must run rawhide".
I'm not saying that (actually I still run F9 on this machine), but I _am_
saying that installing Rawhide packages on a stable release is in general
not expected to work.
There are of course plenty of solutions - VMs, outsourcing testing to
somebody else, rebuilding packages from SRPM etc. - but just installing the
Rawhide package is one of the least reliable ones.
