I don't believe so.  I think we'd need to 1) rebuild all packages using the
new compression 2) Teach the deltaiso stuff that generating an F15 iso needs
to use the new version of the xz/delta*.

Without a rebuild, some packages in F15 will be using the old xz compression
and therefore fail if the new xz compression is used while other packages
will be using the new compression and fail if the old compression is used.
