You should almost always be able to fix things without having to do a
reinstall. If you don't think that is true for you, than staying away
from rawhide and updates-testing is probably a good idea.

A good trick for fixing things is booting off a rescue disk, allowing it
to mount your file systems and changing the root to /mnt/sysimage.
If you do that yum and the like will work and you should be able to fix
things up.
