I've just installed another update to OOo and it still downloaded
everything, not deltas.  OOo is now excluded from update in my yum.conf.

If this can't be fixed the maintainer should be a lot more cautious about
pushing out updates to OOo.  I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that 100MB
of updates about once a week is unacceptable.  Think of the bandwidth.
