It certainly does.
An option to save or not, default off, could be made, whereby the rpm's
are moved to another dir, instead of deleted.
especialy when testing stuff, sometimes things get broken, beyond repair
when not having working pkgs.
Which now sometimes causes to do a new install, which is not the same,
and can have issues, that weren't there before..
One should have 2gig spare room for a downgrade to store..
one could downgrade the whole at once, or look for the pkgs that have to
be temporarely replaced.
This will not be very easy, as sometimes very many pkgs are involved,
with many, many deps to solve...
