It reminds me of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606239
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615763
The problem is, you will not see that output when using yum in
RHEL 6 anyway. And maybe in the past it even killed something?
The examples in

all have the redirect but no explanation why.
Maybe poking relevant Fedora people could yield some definitive
answer?
