From what I can see DRPMs for Rawhide have not been picked up by the mirrors for quite a long time now. Does this mean that the DRPM system is being abandoned?

I don't believe drpms are generated for rawhide. I'm not sure they ever have been.

Do you not see drpms being generated for all of the release branches? (I certainly do.) If so, how could you come to the conclusion that drpms are being abandoned?

They have been in the past, but they appear to be broken since the move to pungi4.
I've filed: https://pagure.io/pungi/issue/344 for this.

Right. They are not at all, no matter how much I might like it from the server side. ;)

You and me both.
If only we could get them broken up into subdirectories like the packages are. But then you have to fix two different createrepo codebases.

DRPMs were generated in the past (not quite sure when they stopped, possibly when f25 started). They make running updated Rawhide feasible since it can be updated nightly. Without DRPM I can only sensible update on a Saturday.

I haven't really looked. I am not that interested in versioned systems that undergo revolutionary change every n months, I want a rolling release. Hence Rawhide and Sid. People keep telling me I should run Arch but so far I have resisted.
