If we really *need* to handle this kind of thing (ie. announcements on 
mailinglists etc is not enough) it would probably be possible to add a 
flag to repomd.xml to discard the various caches, but then we'd need a 
local flag to make sure we only discard those caches once...

IMO, this is not too hard a task to accomplish, but effort is probably 
better spent elsewhere. Especially now.
