best approach for cleaning package metadata cache for old versions on upgrade?

There is a thread on the users' list * dealing with the issue that
after an upgrade, there's no non-obscure way to clean cached metadata
(or packages, even) from previous releases. The thread discussses DNF
and Yum, but it may apply to PackageKit/Software as well; I'm not sure
offhand.

It seems like we should handle this in some way on upgrade. My first
thought was to make it an RFE dnf-plugin-system-upgrade. But, is that
the right place? Maybe some time-base system should prune metadata
associated with repositories for any earlier $releasever? (Or,
actually, maybe for any repository which does not match a current
configuration?) Or maybe a "dumb" process to sweep the cache based on
age alone would do?
