Pruning old vendor update packages?

[Axel Thimm]

My mirror is hitting the ceiling in the FL mount, and I still see 2
1/2 GB of such slack space. Would it help if I mail a list of the
packages to be deleted?

Just to make it clear: I'm referring to old updates that were
obsoleted during RH's maintenance, e.g. which do not exist on
redhat.com anymore, because RH ships a newer one in its updates
folder. Last time I suggested this someone though that I was referring
to vendor packages that had been superceeded by FL, that's not the
case!

Thanks!
