(I'm probably wrong though). why not assemble the new [core] without doing any modifications on the [current]? creating a [extra2] that is replacing the extra and then just assemble these two new repos with the contents from the old ones you like. after finishing everything, just update pacman in the old repos to look for the new repos instead the old ones and release a new ISO. this way, everything will work while you are migrating things and once done, the users can switch to the new repos. the old are dumped after a certain time. i'm having absolutely no time for arch this weekend, sorry. good luck with the game! - D
