I'd love to see drpms for things like going from 7.5.1804 to 7.6.1810
(or the next set of versions) in theory these should only need
maintenance with the actual release and might help with folks making the
upgrade.  I can see this having a positive impact at release time for
folks and let people who've got old media make a faster jump.

Believe it or not .. that is the only time we don't currently do them :)

Because it adds a bunch of size to the everything.iso

I'll confess I did notice they weren't there.

ISO bloat is a real concern!  These days the boot.iso is larger than my first linux installation.... and it had Gnome and KDE installed..

We are having issues with drpms on CentOS-6 i386 and x86_64 and on
CentOS-7 x86_64.

The technical issues sometimes cause us to have to rebuild all drpms
over again .. and the time involved is very large.  Also storing the
drpms and moving them around takes up a lot of space and bandwidth.

We would like to remove delta rpms (drpms) from our CentOS-6 and
CentOS-7 repositories.

But before we do , we would like a discussion on these lists to ensure
this is not going to cause people major issues.

So, begin the discussion, and we will address this again in about a
month.  And we'll see where it leads.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
