Yes.  From where I sit though, having deltarpms in the official repos is
an advertisement that the feature is available, tested, and fairly
stable.  If users see that the repos contain the deltarpms, why wouldn't
they enable the plugin?

While yum-presto looks really promising, I agree with Jesse in that it
really needs to be put through the paces in rawhide before we enable
deltarpm creation in the offical repos.
