I would completely agree. As we can't rely that packages referenced in
metadata just one day old still being on the mirrors means that
PackageKit has to download hundreds of megabytes month more than it
has to.

In the RHEL world, EPEL has bitten me really hard this way several
times, especially when packages are discarded and no longer present in
EPEL. So it's worth thinking about in general for RPM based systems.
