It is; but the main difference is that F8 packages provide 'tetex'
distribution while rawhide comes with 'texlive' (the later evolved
from and in continues a work carried for many years by Thomas Esser
with tetex). Right now you are seeing in rawhide a "transition
period" and from time to time something may tie itself in a knot
although in general thing looks really smooth with this. One of
issues is to provide a natural updgrade path - of course. OTOH
mixing here packages from F8 and rawhide does not sound like a good
idea.
