AFAIK, they are not always kept locally, whereas AFAIK for update sources, the descriptions file is always kept locally (so you can easily diff the current one against the previous one, and show the user new package updates). And it most likely has the kind of information the user wants, rather than the changelogs. > urpmi.update already looks to see if it needs to download the hdlist > files again before doing so...

And at present, hdlist for updates for 9.1 is 3.3MB, and synthesis list won't have any useful information.
