I just googled about it. 
Delta rpms are static. Eg you make one deltarpm for specific_version to
specific_new_version. That sucks. 
Or it is designed for network isolated systems, or for massive automatic
updates of many identical systems.
What I talked about is most for final users, especially those with small
bandwidth.
