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.


I'm curious why are you in favor of drpms in that specific case? In my experience, if you are on a fast network and/or have a local mirror, drpm updates are going to be slower than regular package updates. And would the CR repo address whatever your concern is about point release updates?
