Jon Masters was right
Or at least that was what I thought when, after years of service, Rawhide finally cooked itself on my laptop enough to become unbootable due to a crash of glibc. After a short period of despair it turned out that an invocation of cp on ld-2.10.1.so and libc-2.10.1.so was enough to recover (trusting prelink -ua seems suicidal to me, honestly). But all things said, it's not question of if, it's when your Rawhide will brick (or worse, corrupt something).
But even so, there's no choice for me but to persist with the latest and greatest, just because it's the only place where the fixes happen (ouside of expensive commercially supported branches). Sorry, Jon.
This recurrent thought is prompted by an article at LWN.
