Erm, isn't the repoclosure script capable of checking acros miltiple repos? 
Then it would simply be a matter of building a small temp repo of proposed 
updates and then run repo closure on release + updates + proposed updates. Then 
we don't have to generate / compose the set. I imagine repoclusure itself will 
take quite a while too, but this way atleast things are easier.

Another solution would be a chroot with an install everything install and run 
yum update in there with the proposed updates repo enabled, then one can 
automatically test for problems in a quite quick way.
