I don't know what the end goal is, but you may have better luck using
repomanage to prune old packages, yet keep the last N versions. If
you have a local repository you want to keep from growing, that's
often preferable to just removing old packages.

I'm a fan of xargs and avoiding -exec when possible, since it spawns a
new shell process for each file. But for this particular usage, if I
wasn't using repomanage (or another rpm specific tool), I'd use
tmpwatch rather than roll my own solution with find.
