So if you do have this archive (FC5 anaconda install option - install local rpm repository?), yum (sorry Seth...) would download the correct patch, apply it to the old rpm in order to create a new, fresh rpm, and then update using that?
Yeah, and then *every* revision of the rpm needs to be made available in order to construct every possible patch (unless *only* patches from the base rpm are ever released, which, IMO, would be bad in other ways).
This has been discussed ad-nauseum on this list before. In short, it's a *lot* of work, for *little* relative gain (at best). It's not worth it.
