Thank you, Paul, for the solution, but in my case it will physically hurt me :) 
Let me explain. We build our software too often, three-four times per week, and "program" version N depends on many-many libraries version N (the exact same version). So in our repository there are hundred programs and libraries of different versions.

So now, when I want to roll back, I have to do: yum downgrade program-0.0.1 lib1-0.0.1 lib2-0.0.1 ..... lib10-0.0.1.
And I do not really want to make 10-15 compat-libs every time, when we build our software.

But thank you for trying to support, I appreciate this.
