I'd like to suggest that on Rawhide, VERSION_ID=rawhide and VERSION=Rawhide,
which then makes distinction between rawhide and non-rawhide clear.

os-release specs
(https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html)
allow VERSION_ID to be a non-numeric string.

Rawhide is an actual Fedora version. It's a version of Fedora that provides
a continuous stream of packages and serves mainly development purposes
(nowadays?).

Additional (side) note:
Stuff like "Workstation Edition", "Server Edition" or "Atomic Host"
should probably
only go to VARIANT and VARIANT_ID because it's not a release code name like e.g.
"Beefy Miracle" was for Fedora 17.

We are overusing codename VERSION substring for things that are not codenames
but they are variants and a version.
