One thing is that a majority of developers (I believe the vast majority,
but I may be wrong), and lots of users run unstable all the time.

From the little I know from the outside it doesn't sound to me as though a
majority of Fedora developers and power users run rawhide, at least for a
large part of the cycle, is that the case?

Thanks,
