Trying to think this to its conclusion: "Decoupling applications from Rawhide" like this means they would only be available from "alternative" deliverables such as container images but not as generic user-facing RPM packages. At this point, work that would not benefit generic users but only consumers of these container images would probably just not happen in Fedora *at all* any more since the "shared commons" incentive structure for contributors is just no longer there - and neither is the actual *need* to do this in Fedora infrastructure as opposed to in an independent, third-party system.
