I'd say this is a drawback; to see what the difference between foo-1.0.rpm and foo-1.1.rpm you have to download both huge files, even if the only thing that changed is one line in one header file. With ostree you just fetch that one changed file and deploy it somewhere else. Also, with flatpak there are no "scriptlets". Your OS is always immutable and safe. > Am I missing something and worrying > unnecessarily that I can't do the same with flatpaks? I think you're missing the question, i.e. rather than saying "You can't do X with Flatpak!" you need to be saying "Can anyone please tell me how do I do X with Flatpak?". On a more general note I think a lot of people are assuming we're all horrible evil people, trying to subvert the One True Fedora Way. This is exceptionally poisonous and needs to stop, otherwise Fedora should to drop both the "Friends", "Features" and the "First" in its motto.
