Can you summarize which features do you miss? If I understand you
correctly the obs should fetch the required metadata on its own?

In order to support non static metadata (without "hacks" like
removing :full* and triggering a scanrepo event) we would just
need to compare the old metadata with the new metadata and remove
some entries from :full.solv (and their correspondent binaries from
the :full/ dir). I think this shouldn't be too hard to implement:)
