The separate updates directory has been a pain for as long as I've

anybody I know, but it has caught me out on any number of occasions.
What's more, nobody really seems to know why it's like that: it seems
it's always been that way, and nobody ever bother to fix it.
So lets fix it. The package set at release time is only interesting to
historians. If any of them are really that bothered, I'm sure somebody
can come up with a yum module which finds the oldest available version
of a package in a repo.

Would not this also provide the minor added benefit that there could now
be a drpm for the first update for a package?
We already have that if the update is done after GA.

If that's the case, then good. In that case, I see no huge benefit to
leaving it or changing it.
