Well, I don't know what's working for me, or not working for me. All I know is that:
1) I'm rsyncing the updates repo to my LAN, and other machines in my lan have the default updates repo disablde and a replacement repo pointing at my local copy.
2) Even on the LAN, an update downloads something from the local repo, giving me a zippy progress indication of the download. After the download it sits for a noticeable amount of time before it decides exactly what it's going to update and then gives me the list. This is especially noticable for a Fedora VM guest that I'm running in a VM that's emulating an aarch64 platform. In the emulated aarch64 VM downloading of RPMs goes a bit slow, but the subsequent pause after download is quite noticable.
Except for rsyncing a mirror of the updates repo locally and then pointing everyone to my local mirror, I am not doing any other customization and that's the behavior I've seen.
Having said all that, I don't find the update process to be that much of a pain point right now, and in any dire need of improvement. It works. It is fairly reliable. A bit slow, but who cares. The important thing is that except for a burst of segfaults downloading rpms earlier this year (haven't had any in a while) it's been rock stable and hiccups are very, very rare. I don't exactly see what's the big value-added from the described feature enhancement, I'd only want to make sure it's just as stable.
