You must do a lot more Fedora user support than I do; is it really a
frequent occurrence that users unwittingly enable Rawhide and screw up
their systems?

Not a criticism, I'm just surprised it happens at all.

Maybe the problem could be solved just by labelling it clearer,
rawhide-development or something.
