We can implement this system using repodata patches entirely FWIW since the timestamps are in the repodata and we can add constrains entries.
We just add constrains like you said above using the time stamp in the package (when it was built). We rebuild our repodata patches once a week right now since...
We have to make the meta package too of course. We don't need changes to conda build though.
Yeah this would go beyond and actually cache historical repodata, which we do not do. We really need to separate the concerns/ideas here.
