Rawhide is indeed for upgrading/fixing packages, but without going
through a Q/A process, which therefore may or may not work.  For
production systems using official release, one should use up2date to
fix/upgrade their system's files/packages and not use rawhide channel.  

But for non-production systems, or in this case, now the testing/beta
through the Fedora project, rawhide *is* the only way to upgrade, as
there is no erratta through regular official channels that I know of,
except for the Red Hat Linux - Beta Updates (or whatever it's called
now) channel, or in this case, rawhide.
