From my point of view:
* hardware resources are afaics not a problem here, as we have only a
few packages when compared to Fedora and it doesn't take that long to
generate the deltas afaics
Again, the main resource needed is RAM, 3*Uncompressed RPM size. If we
just don't build deltarpms for any packages that are too large[1], we
can decide what hardware resources we need ourselves.
* what impact would delta support have apart from a (automatically
generated) drpms/ sub-directory on the same level as repodata/
None

[1] Yes, it's an ugly hack, but getting deltarpm to use a fixed amount
of RAM is going to take a bit of work. I plan on doing it at some point
soon, but we're hitting end of the year for school and I've got loads of
stuff that I still need to do with my students.
