If yum is so concerned about this "data" safety why is it storing it in a filesystem tree specifically reserved for stuff that can be removed without notice?
But anyway this was not my point.
I don't see anything in the FHS that says things will come in randomly and remove stuff w/out notice. It says that the data should be re-creatable. The data is re-creatable. What more do you want? All we're doing is drawing a line on what is acceptable for yum to 'guess' the user wants.
Guys, if you don't want to listen to others, and have only abuse to offer, don't answer questions at all. Why do you think every single yum thread is degenerating lately ? Every single poster but you is brain-damaged ?
The only 'abuse' I see
When people take shots at quotes from a neutral text like the FHS, that shows they're only interested in harassing people that disagree with Seth, and have nothing to contribute to the discussion itself.
(I imagine it's as embarrassing for Seth as having an "helpful" friend yell the sky is green because you're disagreeing with someone who noted in the course of his argument the sky is blue)
I'm really sorry you view it as this. I don't know what to say that will allow you to see what we're really trying to do, so I won't even try.
