Have you looked at using the following scenario.

run N release
run N+1 pre-release branch when it gets branched from rawhide
stay on N+1 pre-release branch through official N+1 release
jump to N+2 pre-release branch when it gets branched from rawhide

Would this be closer to matching your expectations?

That possibility is mentioned in the conclusion. Certainly it would be the easiest change to make from running full frontal Rawhide.

I am doing this with Ubuntu. Soon after 11.04 was released, I shifted to 11.10 pre-alphas, updating daily; and so on.

I am now on quantal 12.10. Things break every couple of weeks, but logging into console and running an update again has fixed those.
