I was thinking more for the historical record if we needed it. 
Ie, someone needs to know what fas version we used at time X and what
was in that package. If we have the srpm and timestamp we could examine
it. In practice I doubt it would come up much, especially if those
packages don't have any local patches, just newer versions...

Yeah. Keeping one old one around seems reasonable.
