Basically I think this sentence should just be deleted:

Now, a definite OSTree issue is *managing* deltas, but for the OS update case, it's really really easy to just run `ostree static-delta generate` before publishing. When you involve multiple branches, managing deltas between them gets a little harder but it's just a matter of scripting.
