That would still fill the repodata with older package builds.  We /do/ do just 
an update to the repodata.  Some of the pain comes from the hardlinking steps 
where the latest build of every package is hardlinked into a directory and 
then createrepo is ran over that.  However Jeremy is threatening to create an 
API for createrepo so that we in koji can just say "here is a list of paths, 
here is some metadata we already know about these packages in these paths, 
write out the xml here ->" and significantly speed up the process.
