Assuming reversion to an older version of the package is not a
frequent event, having only the main repository house the necessary
delta files might work out well.
The additional network load for reversions should be containable at
the master. It has a number of advantages in that additional
information about package reversions can be collected:
- Basic statistics about the original and reverted package versions.
- Require that the user be prompted for a reason for the reversion, and
even more valuable information is collected.
