No... just as with no seeder cache, the cache should absolutely never get used w/o getting update called first. Otherwise, we would be susceptible to any change the user made in the directory after the initial update. updaterpm should be capable of *synchronizing* it's cache (adding or removing entries) efficiently, and thus making a seeder cache really useful. Dave said on a call that it would be capable of this.

RPM doesn't actually exist?  That's a big problem if we decide to
