i'll bite.  In normal day to day use, you should not need to do a `clean
all`, or even a clean anything.  Depending on the option following the
clean, a clean will supposedly clears all local cache's of yum data, from
metadata to rpms.  Some cleans will make the next run of yum take much
longer, since it will have to re-download or re-create that data.

For a much further explanation of what all yum can clean, check out the
"Clean Options" section of the yum man page.
