Let's agree on disagreeing. I don't think I will be able to change

Yes. I did but its not described anywhere as a design goal. We
already know that RPM has this feature. [...] When we decide who the
upstream is next, I will make sure to ask them about downgrades
Just to point out a contradiction: We are nitpicking about whether rpm
had downgrades planned in from the beginning or whether that support
just currently exist now w/o having been planned - any future
maintainer/developer of rpm will not be the right addressee about
discussing design goals of rpm of the *past* simply due to time-causal
reasons.
BTW the whole question is off-topic with the original post that was
about whether smart's downgrades are good or bad resulting to your
statement on rpm not being designed for downgrades - but at least you
do seem to agree by now that the current state of rpm does properly
support downgrading.
Enough nitpicking, I agree to disagree, and hopefully you too. :)
