All well and good, but right now rawhide is /very/ broken:

- X doesn't get along with keyboards and mice
- GNOME settings daemon crashes, much of GNOME doesn't work as a result
- Latest kernels just hang on boot or are unable to start X
- gdm crashes X

I'd vote for ironing those out before going forward with any kind of freeze
(or do a "bug-fix-only freeze", which I'm sure will overrun the schedule
anyway).

I don't remember an upcomming Red Hat/Fedora release in which rawhide was
this badly broken.
