This would eliminate the only benefit I see in having rawhide at all:
I'd like to see the rawhide job in RED if it is currently broken, so I
can look deeper to see why. If it's always green, it's useless to me.
However, if it is often red due to temporary unrelated changes, I
would not like it to block fixes.

But as you say, we can try it out and check the signal/noise ratio.
