anybody I know, but it has caught me out on any number of occasions.
What's more, nobody really seems to know why it's like that: it seems
it's always been that way, and nobody ever bother to fix it.
So lets fix it. The package set at release time is only interesting to
historians. If any of them are really that bothered, I'm sure somebody
can come up with a yum module which finds the oldest available version
of a package in a repo.

Would not this also provide the minor added benefit that there could now
be a drpm for the first update for a package?
I like the proposal, the only drawback I found is that when a new Fedora
release is out we mirror (local) the updates repository with priority,
and the big Everything repository is mirrored using a small bandwidth
setting because it is not needed normally for the first updates (updates
that add new dependecies are not common the first weeks)
