yum and rpm do not support downgrades.
Incorrect. There is yum downgrade. See man yum.
yum downgrade is extremely broken. It fails, often, potentially leaving a
system in an unrecoverable state. That is not to mention how poorly conceived
the concept is. Consider what would happen if a package upgraded some resource
to a non-backwards-compatible version.
It is completely unsupported on the Digium repositories. Please don't try it -
I will not help fix it.
This is generally true of *all* software packages; the
developers/maintainers provide mechanisms for upgrading, but not
downgrading. "simple" downgrades should be possible, but the packages
aren't marked in any way to indicate whether that could even be done.
