Looks somewhat as if the rsync script to Red Hat possibly doesn't
delete the old packages.
I no longer know how to log in to
buildsys.fedoraproject.org to check the
primary repository where RepoPrune is run. After the incident, hosts have
been moved around, and I couldn't find docs in the Wiki...
fyi: in epel/5/{srpms,x86_64,i386} I'm seeing 919 old packages which
anyone rsync'ing is pulling down, probably needlessly.
