No I don't want a spool. This isn't spool files. I want to decide when
the cache gets nuked.
But you can't. When you write files in /var/cache, you're giving
explicit permission to their deletion without notice (by other
administrators, cron jobs, other processes, etc). So it's a bit
ridiculous to "protect" them from yum clean all afterwards.
