Yeah, but as that was some time ago, there was certainly an opportunity for new versions that were 5.x+ specific to have landed in the repository. Last night I was too tired to think of the repoquery check, else I probably would have done it before sending the first mail here. If we downgrade, we'll need to respin the archful ones, but those are very few (Bodhi tells me it was 14 packages) and they should be trivial rebuilds.
