Well, then you can try migrating with yum distro-sync and it will do the
required downgrades, but such an option will never be officially supported
by anybody because package downgrades aren't officially supported in the
first place. (Fedora doesn't support it, some upstreams also don't support
it, and e.g. config files from the new version might no longer work with the
old one.)
