Mschwendt committed changes to the master push scripts that should make
something like the above easy to do in RPM Fusion as well.

But I did update the push scripts on our master server yet. F11 is just
a few days away and I'd prefer not to do major changes so close before a
release. So I'll enable those right after resale -- that might sound
more dangerous, but in fact it isn't from my point of view; and most if
not all updates will first go to testing anyway, which gives us a safe
area for tests.

IOW: Yes, RPM Fusion will support delta RPMS, but that will start with
the first round of updates and the rawhie tree that will become F12.
