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

Hi,

First of all, I would like to note that I don't have any strong opinion
about delta RPMs in CentOS, but there are things that I would like to
notice.

1) It might be a good idea to get some statistics about the usage of
delta RPMs. It's also said that some issues require extra development
time, that can be spent better. Once more, some additional information
might be helpful. Fact and statistics based decisions are better.
2) From my experience, the large packages that should leverage delta
RPMs the most are not deltarpmed (is this a word?).
3) Maybe keeping delta RPMs for last 2-3 package version would be some
acceptable trade-off.
