distroverpkg=<your_own_rawhide_file>

Yum
obtains the value of $releasever from the distroverpkg=<value> line in the /etc/yum.conf"

,it goes to *release, if above line not present.

That won't work.  fedora-release just Obsoletes fedora-release-rawhide
at the branch point [1] so fedora-rawhide.repo is removed completely.

The only way to avoid it would be to prevent yum from honoring the
obsoletes the first time you update after the branch, but that really
isn't any easier than just reinstalling fedora-release-rawhide after
the fact.
