It's not "broken" just because it doesn't do what you would like it to
do. Please can we not disparage other peoples work?
Well everything is someone's work. Being that defensive makes discussion on
improving things unnecessary hard. I doubt people mean this comments as
personal attacks on the people who did this work.
Back on topic: using fedora without having an adequate internet connection
is not really "fun" even with delta roms due to the amount and frequency of
updates. From that pov the can go if the costs of keeping them is not
justified.
