If you avoid breaking ABI stability, you can avoid unnecessary churn and one of the benefits ( think resource cost - infrastructure, mirrors etc) of that is users with low bandwidth systems being able to take advantage of Fedora more. While you can always brush off any suggestion with a position of "take it or leave it", it is importance to recognize that there is room for improvement. If we didn't care about people with low bandwidth systems, we wouldn't be having yum-presto and LZMA compressed RPMS So claiming that users with such systems should just go away doesn't fit into the development efforts already made to accommodate such users.
