This works for most things, but kernel changes will be difficult and any 
changes to the core might need to be tested
before being hoisted on Rawhide. (Polyinstantiated tmpdir for example.)
But for the most part I update to Rawhide daily and put all patched code 
in daily.  I do get burnt about once a month though.
The kernel has a requirement of being upstreamed so we might need to 
create a yum repository for the kernel.
