Having rescued this week a system in abysmal stale, with traces of rpm
forcing right and left, I'd say this would also require a robust way to
list all the installed versions, and operate on a specific set of them,
in rpm/dnf refresh/remove modes

And that would also require some thought on how to repoquery and
license audit. A version bump can mean rehosting and licensing changes,
not just another variant of the same code.
