Re: Proposing keeping multiple versions of the same package in the updates repo

I would love this for Rawhide. This would also allow `dnf downgrade` to
work, which would be very useful when things go south. In stable
releases, you could in theory downgrade from version in `updates`
repository to version from `fedora` repository`, but that is not
possible in Rawhide :/
