To clarify 'cleaning process' I envisioned that koji would create a list of the 
files changed during that build, those that are then going to be removed, and 
include that in the repo top level directory.  A cron job on the mirrors could 
just read that 'files removed during build' list and remove them after that 
'overlap period'.
