Two yum issues for F8

After I got the test3 install done, before doing anything else I changed 
the you config to keep things in the cache after install or upgrade. 
This lets me avoid pulling them more than once. Didn't work, nothing 
left in cache after big 400+ package upgrade.

Several days later... did another update, everything in /var/cache/yum 
as desired, didn't change a thing... WTF? Anyone have an idea why the 
first batch didn't get kept?

Strongly related: I eventually wind up with many copies of versions of 
rpms and related in the cache directory. Is there some inobvious option 
to release all but the latest version? I found out several ways to 
release everything, that's obviously not what I want.
