Well that's one way to look at it. Another is that I spent half a day chasing a bug for one of our users in Fedora 32, and it turned out to be caused by GCC. I *would* have spotted this in Rawhide if it had been there for any length of time first. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1835649 You just cannot allow random preproduction GCC into released Fedora.
