OK so what kind of problem solves those changes? Can I have look on some
bugzilla entry?
split packages where it *really* matters instead create thousands of small
rpm packages where the metadata and overhead is much larger than the few
bytes in the standard package?
So far *only* argument was that his split may save ~1GB on ftp server.
And lots of terabytes when syncing the mirrors…

If Fedora Foundation is in so big financial troubles I can donate 1GB
SD card out of my pocket (probably 2-3 pounds with delivery to US).
Just please give me address where this card needs to be delivered.

It's not about the money, really… This is a great step towards
"Green-IT"… Every bit of a transmission needs energy and it is a great
idea to save energy, by just such a little change.
Fedora currently has about 19k packages in each maintained release /
branch, thats a total of about 76k packages. If such a little change
saves about 100KB of storage in average for every single package, it's a
total saving of about 7.25 GB. This saves about 7.25 GB for syncing of
each mirror; for 242 active mirrors that's a total of 1.71 TB of
transmitted data…
Cheers,
Björn
