Been there many times
no, you did not and you did also not in your example below
Real world example with a package I maintain, which currently has an
update pending in updates-testing:
# yum distro-sync
...
Downgrading:
gumbo-parser x86_64
1.0-0.2.20131001gitd90ea2b.fc20 fedora
...
Removed:
gumbo-parser.x86_64 0:1.0-0.2.20131204git87b99f2.fc20
Installed:
gumbo-parser.x86_64 0:1.0-0.2.20131001gitd90ea2b.fc20
nothing is blown away, you only did not read the output
because it was *downgraded* and *not* removed
this is *completly* different than "blown away"
this is what distro-sync *is supposed to do*
upgrade or downgrade any package which is in whatever current repo
but it *does not* blow away packages not in any repo at all
