Well intended advice, I think but it is pretty hard to follow. Command line is desktop environment independent and tends to stay consistent between releases while graphical interfaces change quite a bit and there is a different one for GNOME, KDE and so on. If someone asks for Delta RPMs specifically, it is in fact pretty safe to assume he or she has enough understanding to use the command line. Fedora users in my experience answering questions for years on this list, tend to have this understanding. If not, they can always ask for more clarification. > Any idea why yum-presto isn't installed and enabled by default?.

Mirrors are mostly voluntary and many of them seem to prefer higher bandwidth usage to higher I/O that deltas cause but the reason why it is not enabled by default is that this feature was only enabled past the feature freeze and it was considered safer to evaluate it as a default for the next release. Fedora 12 very likely will have it by default.
