The problem is that I can not automate clearing old fmt files in ~/.texlive* directory as it is per-user. However I added automatic deletion of generated fmt files in /var/lib/texmf/web2c/* upon upgrade of texlive-base (i.e. every time when texlive sources are upgraded).

The *.rpmsave files are just backups of original files. You can safely ignore them.
