Would it be difficult to have some part of the build process check to
see if there's dates older than 2-3 years and report it somewhere?
Preferably somewhere where it will get noticed, but not be obtrusive.
createrepo truncates the changelogs in the repodata to some limit - I
forget what it is set to in koji.
Istr that something like that was made an option in rpm, too.
