ok. It's unclear to me if there is supposed to be such a path. 
I know people in these threads have suggested it, but I don't know that
the change owners want it.

Sure, if the intent is for people to have long lived installs, but thats
not what I got at all.

My understanding so far is that if you want to test it, you do a install
from it's media, test and then destroy it until next time. 
Or if you want to test just a single or small group of packages you pull
them and load them into your rawhide install, test, and then a update
removes them so you are back at rawhide state for the next one. 

But I could be misunderstanding, or perhaps change owners do want to
allow for longer lived installs, in which case you are right that they
would want some way to make the eln packages 'newer' than rawhide
instead of older. 

Perhaps it's time for us to add some ugly hacks to rpm and make:

f > fc
eln > f
