"Rawhide

    Rawhide is a package repository which contains the latest
    development versions of packages which will eventually be included
    in Fedora. These latest versions are sometimes called "bleeding
    edge" package
    <http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/jargon-buster/fedora-glossary.html#gl-jb-package>,
    since they often include new and untested technology. You should
    consider the Rawhide repository "unstable," since any Rawhide
    package /might/ be badly broken if the programmers are trying to
    add, change, or test features. If you want to develop programs for
    Fedora, you may want to install a system from Rawhide. If you only
    want to use a stable Fedora system, you should use the standard
    Fedora Core distribution instead."
