I was suggesting this from a guy-who-reads-user-forums standpoint. The Fedora update mirrors are often out of sync for 1-3 days, which fills the forums almost every day with users who don't understand what's going on when they have dependency problems. I'm fully aware that this is a dirty hack, but it could solve just that problem, now there are side effects of course.
