gpk-application (and probably yum) updates

there was about a week without updates for my f11 systems. so i have the
opportunity to enjoy some gpk-application (and yum) "feature". that is, just
to check if there are any updates, these applications have to download
several megs of info from the repos. so i was wondering why can't the
availability of updates be checked by comparing the date of changelogs
(like 13 june is bigger than 12 june) . this way, to see if there are any
updates, we would have to download just one text file for each repo,
containing a date/time stamp. this would be of great benefit for slow
connection users.
thank you
ps
as a side note, while i was typing this email, my gpk-application is still
"downloading repository information". considering i have a 2 MB connection
and yum-fastestmirror, i can only suspect a(nother?) bug (like failure to
import a key or something), so i'll kill it and try yum so that i'll see
what's going on ....
