that is not true, try it out
Been there many times

no, you did not and you did also not in your example below

Real world example with a package I maintain, which currently has an update pending in updates-testing:

# 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

nothing is blown away, you only did not read the output
because it was *downgraded* and *not* removed
Rubbish - Stop being childish.

this is *completly* different than "blown away"
this is what distro-sync *is supposed to do*
upgrade or downgrade any package which is in whatever current repo
but it *does not* blow away packages not in any repo at all
It if the package from updates-testing was fixing a critical bug on your system, your system would be malfunctioning afterwards.
