It does have the issue.
rpm-ostree links to libdnf which is doing all the same things.
As I commented in the bug though, to do default image based updates, rpm-ostree very
intentionally *does not* load the repo metadata, it's just replicating the filesystem
tree, which takes very little memory.
The issue really has nothing to do with the client side - it's all about the
*repository metadata size*. That's why I reassigned the bug to
"distribution".
The reason this bug isn't hitting RHEL right now is simply just because the default
RHEL repositories are much smaller - also crucially things like many -devel packages are
in a separate repository.
I don't see a need to rehash all of this *again* - the linked BZ already contains
everything said in this thread, and the BZ itself is mainly rehashing a 4 year old thread
