Most are likely just packages that haven't been rebuild during the past 
few devel cycles and hence still have the disstag from the F7, F8, F9, 
or F10 devel cycle. That's normal, as there is no need to rebuild big 
data packages without need, as that would force unnecessary downloads 
for people.

To find orphans use "yum list extras" or "package-cleanup --orphans" 
from yum-utils.
