Need to give people that option though. I don't really think its worth the hassle, IMO

Addition of jigdo yes. Replace ISO's no.
Does it make sense? If someone whants to have a iso image, he will download the iso file and will not use jigdo...
More sense makes to keep the boot.iso and replace the DVD and CD images by jigdo
Educating joe sixpack on using something new, well I like to use altercation avoidance.

Hi,
what do you think about using jigdo for distributing iso Images?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigdo http://atterer.net/jigdo/
advantages:
- save space at mirror because data are now redandant (as rpm's and
"inside" the iso images
- the webserver does handle small files more efficient than big files
- can save bandwith if a download of an iso image aborts and have to be restarted
disadvantage:
- maybe more requests, for downloading all rpm's to build the iso
at client site
