You need them if you're behind a fw or if your link is too busy during
the day (voip) so you must get the packages at night, but updates are
performed by humans during the day (rawhide syncs, install of new
packages, etc)

Or else if you have a shitty isp and want to have a local cache so you
can continue to operate when the link goes down.

I'm not saying your solution is bad, just that it doesn't cover the
whole problem space. Whatever the solution is local network caches are
part of it

Cheers,
