Rawhide is unversioned, so that's not correct. The fedora-release package
version just indicates what OS # it will become. 

The package release # (in this case the 0.4) just indicates changes in the
fedora-release package itself. It isn't meant to indicate anything about the
distro as a whole. You can see these changes
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/commits/master.

It's for whatever uses it.

Well, try `sudo dnf remove gtk2` (and don't say yes) and you'll get a list
of everything that would go away without it. On my system, it's a lot of
packages I use (firefox, inkscape).

Basically. The plan going forward is to update the version in Rawhide
shortly after the branch happens, so after F33 branches off in August
(https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-33/f-33-key-tasks.html), and
Rawhide becomes future F34, we'll actually have the future F34 wallpaper in
Rawhide.
