Fedora 40 firms up for release

The answer, of course, is to do both. Have full RPMs for those who have lots of bandwidth and little CPU, and deltarpms for those on weak connections running normal box, or a VM on a normal box. The kvetching about the time/energy used to create deltarpms when high-compression and compute-intensive actions being done once for the benefit of many users always seemed symptomatic of larger problems with Fedora Linux as a whole -- near-complete obliviousness to the myriad use-cases out there.

Lesson learned: If someone on the systemd team or anywhere else isn't actively affected by an issue or use of a feature that you are, don't rely on it in Fedora Linux, because it'll be pulled whenever someone decides to toss out the babies to scratch a bathwater itch.
