IMHO, yum is behaving exactly as it should. When I disable a
repository, yum has no idea why I have done it, and should not disregard
my wishes and change anything about that repository. As for
repositories that no longer have configurations, I don't want yum making
any assumptions there, either. I have no problems going in and cleaning
out the cache manually if space becomes an issue. It would be easy
enough to create a cron job to do the job. If someone wants to create a
script to go along with yum-utils or to stand alone, I would see nothing
wrong with that. I'm sure that would be a welcomed idea. I also
wouldn't complain about a '--sanitize' option in yum, but the current
behavior is what I would expect and want.
