Well, as I noted in my reply, I wasn't actually sure what was being
proposed here.

So, you are proposing we do things exactly as we are now, but also keep
around all previous copies of the packages in the repos (but not in the
repodata)? 

I'm not sure if that setup would work with dnf. I think it requires
whatever mirror(s) it uses to match the metadata. If you have a older
metadata and the mirror you hit has been updated, I think dnf will say
that the repodata doesn't match and try another.
