Actually no, no .fc9 builds have hit Rawhide yet. But you're right to warn 
about this. Rawhide is probably going to switch to tracking F9 at some point 
BEFORE the F8 release (at least that's how it was for the previous releases), 
so if you intend to move to the stable version, you have to watch carefully for 
when to stop pulling from Rawhide or you'll end up with a mess of F9 packages 
which is essentially impossible to untangle.
