When I did some testing around this on F17 I found that deltarpm not
only increased update time by a non-trivial amount, but also generated
extra I/O. It would be interesting to see how it behaves nowadays.

Crazy idea: disable the Firewall by default but allow users to enable
it through cloud-init (i.e. user-data)? Just in case there are people
who prefer the instance's firewall over security groups and open the
latter up a lot / completely. Probably a stupid thought, but I thought
I'd share it for the lulz.
