It does have advantages for sure. Pros: * can dnf downgrade easily. * can choose not to upgrade something thats a big change you aren't ready for. Cons: * It takes a bunch more mirror space. * It would make composes take longer. * It will allow for more easily tricking people into downgrading to a version that has serious security problems so they could be exploited. kevin
