Hmm. Fix issues ASAP, before they propagate to/infect more users?
Many users still might not have started to download, or might be midst
of downloading.

I don't know what would be better in this case. The risk of corrupting
something definitely exists, provided you can't know which kind of
mirroring scripts/strategies (wget, lftp, reposync, yum caching,
apt, ..) users apply.

I am not sure what would better in this case.

All I can say, if I was still a low bandwidth user, I were very upset
when experiencing that files which are supposed to be constant are being
re-downloaded :)
