with today's FC10 mock update, mock has started to use

I'm the one who filed this bug report....
This change causes mock to re-populate its caches from scratch, while leaving
its old cache untouched.
I have no idea, why this change has been applied mid-life time of a
distribution, but users with low bandwidth connections or with many
repo-caches active (e.g. me [1]) would have been grateful if this change
wasn't applied at this point in time rsp. be done in a less intrusive way.
This bug was affecting people who don't have 1GB of empty storage space in
/var. My machines were filling up /var which in some cases was also /) due
to the large number of updates downloaded by yum in the wrong directory.
So this was not a "feature" that should have been postponed to a new release.
It was actually causing problems for people right now.
