As a daily rawhide update addict I really appreciate the warning.

Over the last few years I've developed a few skills to mitigate and
undo the breakage.

My usual reaction is just to back out the changes, particularly with
obviously new stuff. During the breakage, if you can provide hints or
workarounds, or indications of any specifics you'd like to see in bug
reports, I'm happy to help do a bit of debugging.
