Each of them is "cleaner" for its given task in isolation. In the repo, it's nice to have all-things-yum in one directory. The repo structure was designed to be overlayed on an RHL mirror. The cache format is nicer when you can arrange it any way you want. Ultimately, this will be changing with the metadata stuff, like so much else. -Michael -- Michael D.
