So... people who actually care about the total download are likely not to update all the time, which also means that drpms will not work for them. > For example: > https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/33/Everything/x86_64/drpms/ > (126 drpms for all of f33 updates). > So... that means that drpms wouldn't even make a difference for people who update often. ...and the proposed Change would require additional contortions to allow drpms to work. It sounds like drpms are not worth the trouble anymore. The effort to make them work properly would be large. I think the crucial bit is that we have more packages and updates than ever, and at the same time more people update at custom schedules, so any reasonable subset of drpms will cover a shrinking subset of upgrades.

Aside from any potential issues with the proposed change, they haven't been useful in Fedora for three years, (see https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7215), and nobody's been able to put in the time to fix it yet. If that changed and someone was willing to step up and commit to fixing this, I'd feel very differently. In addition, drpms aren't even working at the moment. Something has changed during the last week or so that's broken them (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1911828). I'll take a look, but, being honest, there's not much motivation to investigate this when drpms are of such marginal use in Fedora at the moment.
