 I agree it'd be a great fix to solve this, but the big problem I see
here is that you'll have to have a _lot_ of delta files.
 I guess, in theory, we could combine update files removing duplicates
etc. (assuming it's done in a way so that yum doesn't redownload
everything when X deltas are combined) ... or we could have yum get
metadata via. rsync ;)
