Au contraire, mon ami. [On the contrary, my friend.]
"Beta and pre-releases in general" (rawhide as we know it) is no more than a
"Add/Remove Software" (Package Manager)
Edit->Repositories, checkbox "development" away from my 93-year old,
computer illiterate, cannot setup-his-way-out-of-a-vcr-remote
grandfather adding complete crap packages on his desktop, you might
reconsider that statement.

In general, code quality in open source software currently SUCKS.
Before you dedicated, talented programmers/analysts/designers get all
defensive on me, forget it. I've been around longer than you, and have
put more quality analysis hours in than you can fit on your pinky.
Granted, I appreciate the effort, but now[1] the distro[2] needs to give more.
