I'd classify those files as "useless bloat." I could not possibly be
interested in those files if I didn't have the source code installed.
Then this was a bad example for you. :-) Yum files are python source
code. I copied the files and created a version that used wget for
downloading, which works much better than the python code over a dialup
connection.
