The yum-plugin-local app makes/keeps a copy of every rpm you've
installed/updated (since installing the plugin) in the subdir

/var/lib/yum/plugins/local/

It does not delete the updated packages, so you can still regress
even if the original files have been removed from online repositories.

If you were not aware of that function, you might want to check
that subdir if you've had yum-plugin-local installed very long and
you're wondering where 3+ GB of your disk space went. ;-)
