  How about just moving the old revs into a rawhide-old directory?  You
could periodically prune the rawhide-old directory to only have two or
three revs.  This way, at least mirrors can forgo mirroring the
rawhide-old directory if they want to save space and it only
(theoretically) requires changing one 'rm' command to an 'mv' command
(not including the pruning).  You could do the pruning in the same
script, but I'm just proposing something that may reduce the chances
that you break an existing process.

Just my $0.02 worth.
