For the record, instructions at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Yum_update_from_previous_release (though actually that says it's not a good method...I disagree, and the text seems pretty old). I'd say it boils down to:

yum install fedora-release-rawhide
(disable F17 repos in the graphical tool, enable Rawhide repo)
yum distro-sync

and watch the pretty, pretty fireworks...
