Really? I hadn't appreciated that. How does one the contribute back to RH/the community by checking at what point something broke?
I don't know the answer here but it's a good point to raise. In Fedora, we
don't keep all updates on our mirrors either, but we _do_ make them
accessible forever from our build system
(https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/), and there's a command-line tool for
easily pulling the packages from a build.
No disrespect Matthew, but this isn't fedora. On Enterprise Linux
systems users expect long-established tools like 'yum/dnf downgrade' to
just work, and when they don't, that's something that needs fixing.
Users should not be expected to go rooting around on build systems
trying to find old copies of packages to fix things that shouldn't have
broken in the first place.
