[CentOS-devel] Delta RPMs (drpms) for CentOS-6 and CentOS-7

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.
