I think this is a nice behavior and we should consider not messing with
it any. (ie, rawhide is always newer). 

Since we are not advertising this / marketing / expecting that normal
users would use it, why not make it easy for them to go back if they
install some eln packages?

If you are one of the developers/testers you can use distro-sync, or a
composed eln media to test and then just 'dnf update' (or distro-sync)
back to rawhide. 

This also means if someone installs a .eln package on a stable fedora,
it will be 'upgraded' away to next time the package updates. Or if they
go from say f31 to f32.
