Description Francis Giannaros 2007-05-17 21:33:34 UTC 
...and possibly even filelists.xml. There's only really _very_ specific use-cases in which changelogs and filelists are really useful (and it's mainly to packagers). Perhaps there could be a switch to then turn it on for those really interested in then?

It's just a shame to ask average joe to download 20M+ of stuff that they're probably never going to ever see/take advantage of.

From what I see in YUMSourceImpl, we dont download other.xml

for (; ! repomd.atEnd(); ++repomd)
  {
    if ((*repomd)->type == "other")
      continue;

For filelists, they are used to create file provides.
