I am assuming that at this stage in Fedora 34 development, that nearly everything being tested in Rawhide currently, that passes certain test, eventually ends up in Fedora 34 until Tuesday, April 20th at 1400 UTC. It just seems like there is at least a 3 week gap on the advertised schedule between

I am excited to report that my Rawhide install finally borked, and now I am faced with either trying to learn how to fix it, or starting over from scratch. I had been away from my computer for about 24 hours, and my last memory was that I shut it down before I left. The motel maids might have
