I use rawhide on many machines and even on my laptop. I know it can break 
sometimes and i am fine with that. Because I have a btrfs snapshots of older 
working rawhide and I can try to upgrade functional version to broken version. 
But in this case  i need to "bisect" which upgrade caused the bug. And every 
time I am surprised which package cause the bug. Mostly I suspected a different 
package. However, if the upgrade of glibc breaks things due to missing symbols 
then it is really huge complication If you cannot upgrade packages with dnf and 
need to use rpm with URLs from koji. That's the reason why upgrade of glibc 
should be treated more seriously in rawhide. (IMHO)
