Don't you have bookmarks in your web browser or a 'saved sites' ability
in your FTP client?
I don't think that rawhide is something Red Hat wants to spend
marketing-type resources on; it doesn't need its own URL when it's
perfectly accessible to anyone the way it is.  They don't *want*
clueless newbies stumbling over it and accidentally upgrading to Rawhide
things when they don't know what they're doing.

I personally use http://redhat.dulug.duke.edu/ or one of the other full
mirrors to access Rawhide, as the Red Hat FTP site is often slow or
locked out due to too many users.

Thanks though for the great howto, despite the editorializing!  ;-)
