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.

rsync -avn --delete --bwlimit=192 rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/1/i386/ fedora/1/updates/i386/ --exclude repodata --exclude headers --exclude debug |grep -v legacy |grep deleting |awk '{print $2}' |wc -l
