Change In Red Hat's Update FTP Server

     Has anybody noticed that Red Hat changed the way they are keeping
package updates on their ftp://updates.redhat.com/ server?
     Red Hat use to make available the packages from each errata they
released -- even if a newer errata updated a package from an old
errata.  Now, they only keep the latest.
     For example, the apache package has been updated three times
since Red Hat Linux 6.2 came out:
---
> -rw-rw-r--    1 2220     235        431073 Jul  9  2001 apache-1.3.14-2.6.2.i386.rpm
> -rw-rw-r--    1 2220     235        477792 Nov 17  2001 apache-1.3.22-0.6.i386.rpm
> -rw-rw-r--    1 2220     235        478648 Jun 19 22:23 apache-1.3.22-5.6.i386.rpm
---

Now only the latest (1.3.22-5.6) package is available on the FTP
server.  If one looks at the 6.2 errata web pages, one sees "File
outdated by:  RHSA-2002:103" for the first two apache errata.

     I see this change as a good thing, as I like to have a local copy
of all the errata.  With duplicates, this easily spanned 3 CD-RWs!
Also, it made updating a system difficult as the "rpm -Fvh" command
would detect multiple versions of the same package and halt.
