To be fair here, if COPR and other third party inherited the "single repo for all releases, using $releasever" approach as suggested, the number would work for internal Fedora repos (because it's easy to do so in mirrormanager), but it wouldn't work for COPR and other third-party repos (because they don't have a mirrormanager). Of course they could make it work by maintaining symlinks, just as now they can make it work by maintaining symlink - but they don't. The question is what is the important use case for using a number in repo network requests, if we make it work by default (using releasever=rawhide). Would anyone need to side-step dnf to perform their own calls, and this would complicate the life for them? I don't know, tell me. (We could make the releasever value easily obtainable in that case, either through dnf or through evaluating an rpm macro).
