Comment (by kparal):

 I understand there are some difficulties, Jesse. There are always some.
 But by putting a little effort in our !RelEng team we save much more
 effort for dozens and hundreds of our users. Once this task is automated,
 it shouldn't even make !RelEng life any harder, but still bring benefit to
 the users. And that's what we aim for with Fedora project, right?

 I would be very glad if someone from !RelEng could create some testing
 deltaisos for future composes, just for testing purposes. Maybe we find
 some more obstacles, maybe everything will work just perfect.

 Just a side note: From my experience deltaisos are
 [http://kparal.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/zsync-transfer-large-files-
 efficiently/ much more efficient for Fedora images than zsync], they would
 save much more I/O and bandwidth. That doesn't mean we should damn zsync,
 but it means we should really try to take advantage of deltaiso.
