This can be avoided if we (instead of moving everything at once), just start doing this for new packages and leave the old ones where they are. There is no need to resync already synced packages.

+1 Just place new packages in /all/ or /pool/ and symlink them to the repos. One issue is that mirrors need to synchronize this new directory also. This will reduce a lot of traffic when packages are moved from testing to core.
