As an engineer who does this all the time on crappy wifi connections
from neighbors' for a large build that does take 4 hours for a build to
complete from unpack to debuginfo complete on all arches (though I'm
including s390, ia64, etc), I'd rather have it wait. It's not that much
traffic and it's a heck of a lot better than having to wait for all my
massive amounts of email to download before I know whether or not my
build failed because of a patch not applying or something silly. For
me, and for some others that aren't necessarily at Red Hat, this means I
don't need to VPN in, which is important over crappy connections.
