The problem is with ‘discarding generated deltarpm data’ every day; please see earlier discussions where Kevin Fenzi et al. explains the **implementation/policy** issues, for instance at [1]. Deltarpm, if implemented to meet its original purpose, will be very useful to a lot of people. It might even be useful to all Fedora users in general as it should reduce network transfer overall. Deltarpm did reduce a lot of update download size for many years since 2007; it would be fantastic to fix the implementation shortcomings and maybe make it useful in other use cases (Edge/IoT) and prepare it for a better future?
