JFYI, it's not "major changes", and both the recently committed features
need to be enabled explicitly. In other words, you don't get deltarpms
or signed repomd just by updating the scripts. Also notice that it's
still possible to test without pushing anything, e.g. by enabling
features for just "development" and then running RepoBuild.py manually.
