In cases of simple packages a downgrade may not break anything, but in cases where other things already built upon it, where the new one changed conguration or interface, or even where the upgrade changed data, it can leave things in a pretty unfortunate state. rawhide is a place for people to integrate their upsteam work with the other working collection of packages. Of course packages upgrade all the time and you have to adjust and fix your package to continue to work with them. But if packages could also just downgrade all the time it would make things much more a 'shifting sands'. We did recently change this so that releng could untag packages that went out already if it was judged to be a serious enough matter. kevin
