If you want to be truly independent of Fedora, you need to do your 
development elsewhere and only import finished and fully working upstream 
releases into Rawhide (which need to be testable by Alpha and 100% complete 
by Beta), as for any other upstream project in the critical path.

As long as you (ab)use Rawhide to do upstream development and alpha-testing 
in, Fedora WILL dictate how you do development.
