That would not test the regular update flow, we'd have to use
workaround for the period before milestone 1
and run explicit yum downgrade with the explicit package list to force
lower version packages to install.
That means real upgrades would not be tested until this kludge is
removed after first milestone is released.
Instead, I'll look at adding automatic bump in RDO Trunk builder
before milestone1 i.e. when it detects master version is lower than
stable branches.

Cheers,
Alan
