Sounds like rawhide -> fedora/development (no more rawhide as such).

Overall, I like what I see of the structure implied by the directory trees:

-- Core as released
-- Updates for Core
-- Proposed updates which are currently under testing
-- Development (which will be unstable at times)

My hope is that "minor" stuff which is usually "fixed in rawhide" will make it 
to testing if not true Errata (updates).  I assume that Updates (errata) will 
have some QA expended but that "Testing" will not and Development will 
definitely not have any QA or even any promise that it works.  Since people 
creating packages may have some idea if a change is big or small, they might 
have a better idea as to wheather a particular package fits under Testing or 
Development.

Well, that is my hope.  I assume that the folks at Red Hat have some idea how 
this will work and that idea is probably evolving.
