The day after release, many packages are updated and must be yummed for (assuming you want the full latest install. Anyone with a 'slow' connection is out of luck, those with a fast connection are not inconvenienced at all either way.

I have to wonder if it would be feasible or advantageous to set up a torrent for each yum group, and have a basic cd with just minimal setup + the Internet etc. which could then be customized fairly quickly and has the advantage of being as small as possible for everyone.
