I did such a test tonight by building a Remix pointed at the rawhide repo.

I used the procedure in:

 >    http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix

I edited the fedora-live-mini.ks to point it to the rawhide repo (see 
fedora-live-mini-rawhide,ks attached)
I edited the fedora-livecd-soas.ks to point to the above modified file.
Soas-v5-31102010-remix.txt is the command used in f14 root terminal to 
run livecd-creator (livecd-to disk) to build the remix.iso
all three attached files are needed to do this.

This gives me a f15 (rawhide) Soas build.

Rawhide ( f15) now uses systemd ( 
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html ) a completely new boot 
system. : /
tonights remix.iso would not get into a graphic boot. startx seems to 
endlessly cycle. the alternate boot method available is upstart:
*At boot*hold <ESC> <TAB> linux0 init=/sbin/upstart*
got to an init 3 login: liveuser logged in OK worked but startx failed 
as well.

You will find that just testing the nightly composes and reporting bugs 
to the developers is a full time job!

Cordially;
