What I'd like to see is some sort of yum-proxy to save bandwidth for users. E.g. let some sort of yum-procy run on a local network server; fill it's cache with what you have already from the distribution cd; clients connect to the proxy; if the package is in the cache send it back; otherwise download it from the web, send it over, and put it in the cache; now and then check if a package is still in the upstream repos; if not, drop it from the cache.
Even better would be the use of mDNS and DNS-SD to search for such a proxy. This way, you don't need to hardcode anything in configuration files.

Instead of a proxy, one could also use DNS-SD to implement something closer to the P2P model, where machines on a local network search for any neighbour systems that have already downloaded updates, basically sharing the yum cache.
