IIRC, the main distinctions are:

Rawhide-xo includes both Sugar and the GNOME desktop, and I understand  
this is an intentional feature so more advanced users have a simple  
option to get to a regular desktop, if desired. The focus is pushing/ 
testing as much hardware support as possible for the XO upstream.

Soas/snapshots/2 has only the Sugar desktop, and is being targeted for  
as many HW types as possible and specifically as USB boot media.

Now, due to the wonder of open source, Soas is inheriting all the  
great work the Fedora folks are putting in on the Rawhide-xo builds,  
but XO hardware is not a primary focus for the Soas work – actually,  
I've never had any Soas I've tried yet, boot on an XO, in any shape or  
form; where as Rawhide-xo has been working surprisingly well on the  
XO, (excluding non-existent power management).
