Not always: The policy that disallows Rawhide going backwards was supposedly 
documented (it does not say where) in 2009:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/96
and the ticket says that it was introduced by FESCo "at some point in the 
not too distant past". So I guess it was introduced somewhere around 
2008-2009. I have been trying to fight it ever since, especially with the 
introduction of distro-sync that makes it completely pointless.

Also note that, at the time, it was not as strictly enforced as now because 
untagging from Rawhide was self-service, anyone was able to untag any build 
from Rawhide at any time, so at most the rogue untagger would get scorned by 
rel-eng. It was fairly common to see downgrades in Rawhide reports, 
typically as the result of untagging broken builds.

And before that ca. 2008-2009 FESCo decision, there was no rule at all 
against it, which is where I want to get back to. Even upgrade paths between 
stable releases (which I would consider still relevant) are apparently no 
longer considered relevant due to distro-sync, so why be so strict about 
them in Rawhide of all places?
