If the rsync tree was built into ISOs, or some other larger archive
files that could be loopback-mounted, it would be a better situation for
rsync. It can then check for differences in the old and new versions
and only download the differences.
Building rawhide as ISOs would a) complicate the build process b)
make it more of a hassle to grab a single fix.
Adding ISOs in *addition* to the files would lead to a rather dramatic
increase in disk space required.
