RFC: Old packages remain on the mirrors for one week

[Chris Murphy]

What's the interval of repomd changes, daily? What approximate percentage of the entire repomd changes between day 1 and day 7? If the delta is comparatively small to full metadata files, what about implementing a daily repomd_delta sorta like deltarpms?

I see both yum and dnf downloading large repomd files once the local cache is considered stale.
