I have no idea what your mail has anything to do with that but I try
to explain it one more time.
Currently we have

1) deltarpms -> low bandwidth use but takes a while to apply the updates
2) no deltarpms -> high bandwidth use but faster updates application.

So now people suggest the user (or the distro) has to either choose 1) or 2) ...

What I am suggesting is adding a third option:

3) Use less bandwidth *and* apply updates fast (by fixing deltarpm).

So if we have 3) the choice between 1) and 2) does not make much sense.
