What about creating a "minimal daily (weekly, ...) rawhide CD", with just
enough stuff to check that the installer (and the suchly installed system)
works? I.e., kernel(s) and related stuff, perhaps up to X and Gnome? No
fancy alternatives, etc. That way the risk of massive breakage is lower,
and the result is easier on downloaders and testers.
