+deltarpm hasn't been imported either.
+We could always base deltas on the last release, to simplifies the usage.
+To back out, we would go back to release and advance to whatever 
+previous delta, if any.
+Many (if not most) users will have a release iso with the release packages.
+
+Other than deltas, we could release update isos, à la mdv2010.2, with 
+all non-updated release packages + updates.  (Excluding any backports.)
+With our release cycle of 9 months, we could release these update isos 
+every 3 months.
+That would considerably reduce update downloads on new installs.
+And maybe eventually a way to produce such update isos dynamically, at 
+the time of download ?
