Fair enough - I guess your mirror was a bit behind, or something, I got
the fedora-repos-rawhide package replacing fedora-release-rawhide
yesterday afternoon.

It's not strictly needed, though 'yum-config-manager' comes under the
heading of 'more or less mandatory' for me...

It does actually disable the repo. The 70 lines of output indicate
success. (At least, that's how it's always worked for me.) Yeah, this
isn't exactly optimal design. :P

I *think* this shouldn't be an issue with the new fedora-release split,
but I haven't read that whole thread or the spec files, so I can't be
definitive. I'll try and keep an eye on how it shakes out and keep the
wiki instructions up to date.
