Crazy idea of the day: Maybe our update tools should default to distro-sync
rather than update? Together with ensuring timestamp monotonicity on the
metadata (don't accept older metadata if you already have newer one), it
would allow easily pulling faulty updates (except when RPM is broken as in
this case, of course) and could even render the dreaded Epoch hack obsolete.
