I'm pretty sure he didn't say it "must be preserved". Please can you
reference the post where he said "must be preserved." My email cache
of this thread so far only has you saying anything about "must be
preserved."
"But how can I really be sure that ALL the data in that dir is
disposable, especially if the user has disabled the repo in question in
their config.
I err on the side of protecting data. If yum is not told to remove it,
then it won't remove it."
So this is not-disposable data needing protection. I translate this into
data that must be preserved. If it's not preserved it's not really
protected, right ?
