It is also very difficult to measure - for my part I'm happy for every MB saved when downloading updates at home, because it directly translates into waiting time. At work I don't have a bandwidth problem, so it's way less of an issue there. But I don't see anywhere how much the potential is - iirc correctly it sometimes saves hundreds of MBs, which translates into something like 10-20 Minutes saved time. Even though it's an after-the-fact information I'm still happy it doing its job. (Interestingly on the last update almost half of the md5 sums mismatched for the drpms, which increased download size from 12.3MB to 14.0MB - but this seems to be a rare problem) Personally I'd like to stay on regular Fedora Workstation / Fedora Server - I'd probably decide to take increased download times instead of switching distros/editions if drpm gets removed. All the best, Astra
