Is this one of the few times when a 'yum clean all' is a good

(eg. Will yum even still find all the old cached files when the release

housecleaning and nuke the old rpm files.)
If the repo content matches the cache, yum will reuse it. It doesn't
matter whether the release has changed or not. Not all packages are
rebuild for every release.
