What exactly would be pruned? Saving space sounds like a great idea as
long as it is useless stuff we are deleting.
Updates that have been obsoleted by newer updates (from Red Hat).
Before Red Hat closes down a release they usually run a prune that
deletes all/most the obsoleted updates. When I was syncing the FC trees
(and possibly the RH trees) I may not have gotten the prune deletions.
By doing a comparison against a public mirror for the FC content I count
149 packages alone in the FC1 i386 updates directory that could be
removed.
