You are right, Revisor should clean up after itself. It does so for all 
compose directories (unless of course it fails during the compose). It 
does not however delete /var/tmp/revisor-yumcache as this is all 
downloaded data.

Having a user specify whether to delete the cache in a configuration 
file IMO is just as easy as having them do the rm -rf 
/var/tmp/revisor-yumcache manually.

I agree though this could be a setting, set to not delete anything by 
default, so that once you know you want to delete the cache, you can 
configure it.

Let me know what you think,

Kind regards,
