Some kind of slotting (to steal a term from Gentoo) mechanism might be a
nice solution. The slot name (otherwise just an opaque string) would be
looked at for each upload, and all other releases in the same slot would
be hidden. This could be piggybacked in the keywords field to avoid the
need for client-side changes (keywords = 'slot:1'). This seems more
flexible than a simple package-level switch. If you never want any
versions hidden, just use your version number as the slot name, but you
can also do more traditional stuff with multiple release branches.
