Its rawhide dude. Things are in a constant state of flux and we don't impose
any barriers from the developer to get new packages out. Once FC6 is
released, updates to FC6 will be handled in a way that prevents the updates
repo from having broken deps (most of the time *wink*). Rawhide is well raw,
deps will break, and if you're brave enough to play with it, you are expected
to spend a little effort to plow through it. And if it breaks, you get to
keep all the pieces.
