The idea is NOT to provide incremental updates. i.e. drpms will always upgrade some version to latest. You should never need to install several drpms to reach "latest" state.
I am thinking it would be best to provide at least 2 drpms
n-1 => n (previous to latest)
and
General Availability (FC6 isos) => latest

If this gets popular, we might provide n-2 => n drpms for slow updaters

The existing full RPM on mirrors would not change.

yum-deltarpm allows more rapid acquisition a desired RPM, if the
specific transition you want is available as a drpm file.  The common
cases would be provided in drpm.  If you are doing something uncommon,
then you likely will just download the full RPMS like you would today.
