Does this means bigger requirements for copies of RPMs too? I mean
for all our repos mirros, for RH Satellites, Spacewalk, Koji, Copr,
Retrace...
Yes, and that should actually be item 3 in drawbacks. Zchunked rpms
will be larger than the current xz-compressed rpms, but the actual size
increase is still unknown. I think we can shoot for roughly the same
size as a gzip-compressed rpm, but I'm not sure.
Mirror storage *might* actually go down, since we no longer need to
store deltarpms, but anything that only stores rpms will definitely
require more space.
