The delta rpms only need to be created at the source.

The yum plugin is already in Fedora Extras 6, only the official delta rpms are 
missing. They can be generated without interfering with the full rpms, so 
they cannot break anything on peoples machines, that do not use yum-presto 
(the delta rpms plugin). For this reason, I see no harm done, when they get 
already distributed by Fedora / generated at the source. Only the directory 
layout needs to be decided upon.
