Once upon a time, Matthias Clasen <mclasen(a)redhat.com> said:
Neither of these will happen because they require esoteric knowledge
of
yum plugins that users don't have. So if we turn it off by default, it
will not be used by a significant percentage of the people for whom it
is beneficial.
If it impacts update performance by default, then it should be off, or
we'll have another thing added to the oft-repeated "Fedora fixes" list
(like "yum remove pulseaudio", "turn off SELinux", etc.).
Lots of users are connected to high-speed Internet, so their update
performance should not be impacted to help those that are not as well
connected.
