After initial install, a GA+updates repo would cause consumption of more bandwidth, as the repodata would change on a nearly daily basis causing rather large repodata files to be downloaded over and over and over again. Instead what we have now is a static GA repo that is downloaded usually once, and a much much much smaller updates repo that is downloaded more frequently, but since it is much smaller the impact is much lower. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
