Just a thought: How about equipping a repo's metadata with some sort of
"expiration"/"best before" date, which yum etc. could use to warn
users?
If we had something like this, system-auto-death etc. would become
superfluous.
it would mean we'd have to be able/willing to push new metadata out to
the base repo so that the repo could be used at all for future installs.
