Today /var is only 52% full. I wondered whether some person or
robot had resized the partitions, but no, the "1K-blocks" column
is identical. Looking through root's history, I found:

cd /var
yum clean all
cd cache/yum
rEmOVE -rf *

where I inserted some capitalized letters into the last command.
Clearly this is no robot, as placing that command in shell history
would violate Asimov's First Law.

But they left my /var/cache/lmi_schroots and its DEBs alone.
