Cleanup. ;) Besides, this repo does not seem to be maintained ergo it is 
probably useless unless some historian has interest in it. Anyway, even 
if somebody were really interested in it, it would probably require some 
unreasonable amount of work to get it up to date and would also mean 
double work because of Fedora's already existing up-to-date rpm build 
system.

As long as other repos do not reference change sets in this repo - which 
they probably do not - dropping it should do no harm.

The reason I am asking is simply because I appreciate clean systems, 
repos, sources, etc. free of ballast. It makes life easier. ;)
I do know that people usually do not have time for this but in effect it 
really aids progress.
