With no more difficulty than if you had a realease. How would *you* go
back from 9.2 to 9.1? If you want to be able to do this with a stable
release, mirror the updates tree without deleting old packages, and you
can generate your own hdlist daily. You still have the problem of
reverting to older packages (which can't really be avoided at all anyway).
