Yes, but my point is that the compose time, the time it takes to put
together a set of updates, for all of the architectures * (all of the
releases + rawhide) has gone from I think three or four hours to 8+
since we started generating deltarpms.

If we start generating more deltarpms (which is what I think the OP was
asking for), it will go up even more.  I doubt the infrastructure team
is going to accommodate requests for more deltarpms until the compose
time has been brought back down again.

Please note that I *do not* speak for the infrastructure team.  This is
just what I'm picking up from those who are on the infrastructure team.
