No, we just don't enable these functions in the "helper" apps. We don't
want to help you ruin your system, we'll let you do that on your own
with RPM.
People wishing for package downgrades are more often than not folks who
run rawhide and other experimental packages and just want an easy way to
back out a broken package. When a bad update has broken your system, what
difference does it make if downgrade is "potentially dangerous"?
