Downgrade an already installed package?  One thing I've done in the past
is to use rpmfluff to force installing a downlevel package.  For
example ... I like to pick on gcalctool.

From my test repo (http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/repotest/fc14) , you
can install a downlevel gcalctool.  I'd love to create a python script
that would generate packages and repodata for different $releasever, but
I've not managed to complete that script [1] yet.  Suggestions welcome! 

Thanks,
James
