Sure, but that's all part of rawhide ususual turnover.
It may happen but it should not happen for long and certainly not wait
till the next test release to be fixed.

Generally speaking few people are mad enough to run rawhide just after a
release (I'm part of the madmen) so the usual upgrade is FCX + some
updates -> Rawhide. Which implies the upgrade path must be yumable
easily (and yes I know we won't manage it all the time but if we don't
even try it will never work at all).

Thanksfully with the janitor scripts the Fedora infrastructure has been
sprouting ensuring this all work should become less of a hurdle than in
the past.
