There has been a long thread about keeping infrastructure open after 
normal end of life:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-October/msg00671.html
It is very long and very heated. I don't think it is time to restart the
flamewar. Maybe the other things you propose (be able to use parts of
rawhide through a gui) should better be in a thread not mentionning
something that smells like longer term support.

Are you satisfied with

yum update something --enable-repo=rawhide

on the command line? Or do you want to be able to also go back to older
versions?
