Using bit torrent to retrieve RPMs for updates

[Jonathan Gardner]

Has anyone given serious thought to changing Yum so that it uses the 
bittorrent protocol to retrieve RPMs? Especially in the case of updates, 
when everyone and their grandmother needs to get the RPMs right away, this 
would make a lot of sense. Yum could manage a repository of RPMs and 
constantly serve those up so other can download parts of them via 
bittorrent, all with permission, of course.
