Sigh. One of the advantages of Fedora is that we do frequent updates
so that you can be sure that bugs are fixed in a timely manner. That
doesn't mean that Fedora is totally useless unless you have every
single update the instant it is released.
From a user's perspective things are a bit different:
To be able to follow the benefits of Fedora, you need sufficient
bandwidth. If you can't cope with the bandwidth demands, you're probably
better off using a different distro.

Those concerned about bandwidth should help the yum-deltarpm project in
development and testing.
