Neither of these will happen because they require esoteric knowledge of
yum plugins that users don't have. So if we turn it off by default, it
will not be used by a significant percentage of the people for whom it
is beneficial. And all the infrastructure cost we put into maintaining
delta rpms is effectively wasted...
