...which brings this thread to the end of its useful life.
To attempt to bring the discussion back to a useful state, would it
make sense to have delta repo metadata? Re-downloading 20-ish MB of
mostly unchanged package and file lists every day seems inefficient to
me. (We'd hopefully implement that *once* and get dnf and PackageKit
to use the same copy.)
