I think it is a bad idea to continue supporting deltaurls in 
presto.conf, even now.  It is also a bad idea to have any default 
configuration point to non-Fedora repos.

The documentation should instruct the users to add the deltaurls to 
the main *.repo files themselves.  This avoids the situation where 
non-Fedora URLs are being added automatically--the user has to do it 
themselves.

Deltaurls-in-presto.conf support should be removed ASAP.

A redirect would still be fine if you would like to do that.
