I suppose I'm having trouble understanding that when you started this 
thread with:

You wrote "dnf developers have disabled this and I think this change 
deserves a broader discussion."  I went back and read your original post 
on the bug report you referenced and you said this:

"Since Fedora 12 or so (my blog post on this at 
http://mether.wordpress.com/2009/10/01/fedora-12-and-yum-presto-plugin/) 
deltarpm support has been available by default for many users.  dnf 
should enable this configuration by default as well"

I even went back and read your blog post.  I honestly don't understand.  
You say it needs to be enabled at first and now say that it's already 
enabled.  Color me confused, my friend.

Regardless, I don't think anyone, including you and I, wants to expend 
more bandwidth on tangential non-issues.  If you say this is handled, 
then that's fine by me.  I just wanted to be sure that everyone's 
bandwidth/processor issues were being adequately addressed.
