I am curious to know why anyone would not want to use the deltarpms?
It works well and I am always looking for ways to save bandwidth, the
smaller the files I download the better.
It's a trade off. It saves you bandwith at the cost of local disk space
and cpu time.
If you have a very fast connection it's usually much faster to just
download the full updates.
if you have a very slow cpu or low on disk space, assembling the deltas
can make things a great deal slower.
If you have a slow or metered connection, and lots of cpu/disk, then
deltas are indeed a big win.

Ok, clear enough.
