You can't roll back to packages that are no longer on the mirrors.  I don't think this feature is supposed to work in Cauldron.  On a stable release, it should work, as old updates are retained on the mirrors.

Agreed. I will postpone any test until after the official release. Anyway, it can only be a reliable feature in stable releases where there are no changes in configs and data formats on the user's side.
