I wonder if we could do the same thing we are doing with deltas now. 

ie, ship 2 versions of every package (current and previous) and then
over time remove the previous ones only keeping more recent ones. 

So, say you have foo-1.0-1.fc23 and a foo-2.0-1.fc23 is pushed. Keep
both for a week, then remove foo-1.0-1.fc23, with the idea being that
if there is some horrible problem with the package people are likely to
notice in a week or two and immediately downgrade, but after a few
weeks the likelyhood is that the new version is ok. 

Just a thought.
