Some people might. I remember dealing with a client in the middle of
India which had a really slow net connection. So being able to
download updates and "roll-their-own-dvd-with-updates" could be useful
to some. Personally, I've setup a local centos mirror which downloads
updates once a day, and I use PXEBoot to image all my servers and have
a bunch of custom kickstart files that do a lot of post installation
configuration. I do this for convenience because I don't want to go
out to a datacenter to reimage a server, instead I just log into a
kvm. But it's practical for your local office as well. So if had a
slow connection this is the way that I'd go.
