No feedback? Is everyone else just ignoring these messages?

Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:
  Current   : Tue Feb 16 08:58:20 2016
  Downloaded: Tue Feb 16 08:58:13 2016

A 7 second variance shouldn't be that much of an issue.

I've been meaning to write about this for a while... my inbox is flooded every 
day with messages with this as the content from my SL7 machines (the ones I 
have set up to forward mail sent to root). I checked the time on them, they're 
using NTP, and the time agrees, almost to the second, with that of network time 
services and other machines, I doubt there's even a 30 second variance.

What's the strategy for dealing with this? Seems like it isn't an isolated 
problem.

Hi,

I am seeing exactly the same.  I thought it was NTP issues related to my own 
setup, where I have a local rsync mirror.  But then I installed from scratch 
SL7 on another site without any local mirrors, and the same issue appears there 
too.  So I see this both with public repositories as well as local rsync 
repositories.

I have also seen this on SL6, but not as frequent as on SL7.

Even though they cause no obvious harm, it gets quite annoying when you receive 
many of them during a day ... sometimes even several days in a row.

Perhaps yum should be more graceful to the timestamp?  And just quiet these 
messages if the time difference is less than 30 seconds or so.
