Rawhide is a semi-regular public snapshot of the Red Hat development
tree. It may or may not contain working packages, new features, or
things that will be seen later on in Red Hat releases.

Notice I said "may or may not" - just because you see it in Rawhide
doesn't mean you will see it in  Red Hat Linux - just that someone was
interested enough in that package to play with it, evaluate it, and
whatnot.

I should also extend the "may or may not" qualifier to Rawhide being
any of the following : installable, buildable, supportable.Use at your
own risk, YMMV, etc, etc.
