Comment (by robatino):

 Replying to [comment:4 jkeating]:
 > It's not just one per release, it's one per arch (i386, x86_64, src) per
 RC / TC per release (alpha, beta, final), which adds up pretty quickly.

 I wouldn't bother with src, and it's just two commands per TC/RC (or one
 if combined):

 makedeltaiso oldiso32 newiso32 deltaiso32; makedeltaiso oldiso64 newiso64
 deltaiso64

 It's not even part of the compose, so it doesn't increase the chance of
 failure.  It's done afterwards, to make the already created ISOs easier to
 obtain.  It should take only a minute or two to enter this command (using
 autocomplete for the oldiso and newiso names, and inventing deltaiso
 names) and hit enter.  It will probably max out the CPU for 15 minutes or
 so but it's not necessary to stick around for completion - as I said
 above, people can just download the full ISO if something goes wrong.
