Dennis, Kevin, I'd really like to have this implemented before F19 branches, because then it's too late and we will have to wait for F20.
It cuts the metadata size by 30%, that's huge! It saves 1/3 of your waiting time for yum refresh!
Can one of you please have a look at necessary changes? It probably requires just a minor tweaks in rel-eng scripts. Thanks!
