Yum already does this - it is a config option to keep rpms or delete them after installation (with yum, I mean, not Yast). It has command line options to clean up the headers, downloaded rpms or everything once they are no longer needed. Actually, isn't Yast basically a back-end for zypper? Or am I confused about that? Maybe this is actually a function that belongs in zypper rather than Yast.
