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.

I already exclude drpms from my local mirror as they're just a waste of disk space for me.
