Yeah, and then *every* revision of the rpm needs to be made available in
order to construct every possible patch (unless *only* patches from the
base rpm are ever released, which, IMO, would be bad in other ways).
This has been discussed ad-nauseum on this list before. In short, it's
a *lot* of work, for *little* relative gain (at best). It's not worth it.
