I had to downgrade plymouth this morning and the way I did it was to look
at koji to find the version that I guessed was the last one likely to
work based on a combination of date and changelog comments. Then I downloaded
all of the rpms for that version for my arch. Then I did:
yum downgrade --nogpgcheck plym*rpm
This worked great. It didn't even try to install rpms that weren't already
installed.
