I really don't want to add this midstream to a released product. The right process here is to get it working in rawhide during the open development cycle, start producing the content for it at the source, have it mirrored out and get more and more people beating on it during rawhide. If it survives and makes it into the released product as a default, that's awesome, from that point on we use it. Trying to start at a released product and port forward just seems backwards to me, and not something I want to expose all of our "stable" Fedora 6 users to.
You don't expose them really to any additional risks by default. If the delta rpms are already mirrored, yum just ignores them without the plugin. Since the plugin is already in Fedora Extras users just would have install them explicitly to use the delta rpms. The plugin falls back to downloading the full rpm if the delta rpm fails or is not available.
