If a major openoffice.org-core update was only a 25% savings, that would still be about 25MB of data. I suppose some of this depends on whether you're tuning this to be better for bandwith or diskspace. End users will be very happy to download 25MB less data. Mirrors would have to host an extra 75MB of data on their disks. -Toshio
