Even if we can do it on the mirrors, we have no way to 'recall' a

Crazy idea of the day: Maybe our update tools should default to distro-sync
rather than update?
No, for 2 reasons:
a) This would blow away all installed packages, which aren't available in permanently enabled repos
that is not true, try it out
Been there many times.
Real world example with a package I maintain, which currently has an
update pending in updates-testing:
# yum install gumbo-parser
...
Installing : gumbo-parser-1.0-0.2.20131001gitd90ea2b.fc20.x86_64
...
[Note: updates-testing is disabled in
/etc/yum.repo.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo]
Now temporarily enable updates-testing to pull in the package from
updates-testing for testing:
# yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing gumbo-parser
...
Updating : gumbo-parser-1.0-0.2.20131204git87b99f2.fc20.x86_64
...
# yum distro-sync
...
Downgrading:
gumbo-parser x86_64
1.0-0.2.20131001gitd90ea2b.fc20 fedora
...
Removed:
gumbo-parser.x86_64 0:1.0-0.2.20131204git87b99f2.fc20
Installed:
gumbo-parser.x86_64 0:1.0-0.2.20131001gitd90ea2b.fc20
