Well, and as someone just pointed out to me, fairly enough, on Reddit,
Rawhide is often a rolling release of the latest prerelease dev
versions of software, and we don't really have a rolling release of
the latest stable versions (except to the extent that people push
these as updates, which is quite a lot).
Sure, agreed.
Although there's a lot of stable releases of things that flow into
rawhide too in cases where upstream doesn't have a development branch
or the maintainer(s) decide something is not stable enough.
Of course gnome, kernel, mesa and such are prereleases a good part of
the time.
