You don't expose them really to any additional risks by default. If the

back to downloading the full rpm if the delta rpm fails or is not
available.
It is still not something I want to do to a released product, or even Fedora 7
after the feature freeze. The generation of the delta rpms, the layout, the
use of the plugin, etc.. these are all codepaths that need more
exposure/testing during an open development phase. I think it's great that
you guys have gotten it to the point it is now, and I really look forward to
seeing it get wider use once we start up Fedora 8. I just don't want to add
new features/functionality into 7 and 6.
So let me ask. Who or which team decides this? What about application
defaults or which packages to install by default? Is this supposed to be
handled by release engineering or FESCo?
I have a suggestion for a package to be installed by default that I
would like to see someone or a team take ownership and give me a
decisive response.
