We have delta RPMs for going from GA release packages to current

that just isn't reasonable unless you have a huge hardware donation up
your sleeve....
There is a bit of a problem with that, though, and packages that
iterate quickly. 52.0-6 went stable on 2017-03-24. 52.0-7 went stable
on 2017-03-30. 52.0.2-2 went stable on 2017-04-05. There isn't a week
between any of those; given that (IIRC) GNOME is designed to notify
users of updates only once a week, it's quite easy to *not* be going
from 'latest minus 1' to 'latest' in this kind of scenario.
Yeah, that's fair. I'm not sure of a really good solution for this
other than ostree-based flatpaks — and that has its own challenges.
What would be the advantage of ostree-based flatpak here?
