Not always. In fact quite often that doesn't work properly. Dependency hell. 
Please DON'T train your users to use --enablerepo=rawhide, or sooner or 
later they WILL end up with half their distro upgraded to Rawhide because 
their update required a new soname of some core library which in turn 
required everything else to be upgraded to match the new soname. And of 
course they won't understand what happened and why. --enablerepo=rawhide is 
extremely dangerous and should NEVER be used, especially not by users who 
don't know EXACTLY what they're doing.
