No, rawhide shouldn't go backwards.  What I suggested was that rawhide
should be the latest successful build, just as it would be if you *had*
built for rawhide.  Whether it's in updates-testing, updates, or nowhere
shouldn't matter.

If this isn't practical, then people will always have to build rawhide
separately (and we really need the nagbot mentioned elsewhere in this
thread).  But when there is no real need for a separate build, that's
just making extra work for the packager and for the buildfarm.
