AFAIK, the yum developers believe there is no universally safe way to
downgrade RPMs (specifically, backing out scripted actions).

You can get most of the way there with:

rpm -e --nodeps SDL
yum --disablerepo fedora-updates install SDL

Disabling the fedora-updates repo will give you the version that shipped
with the initial FC-5 release.
