Problem being that downloading the reference RPMs and the patch would
probably _increase_ server load.

I can think in my case having the RPMs probably wouldn't be much of an
issue.  I've got a local mirror set up anyway.

My sister, on the other hand, which has only one Fedora machine and a
broadband connection, would probably not understand why she should use the
space.

Of course doing an either/or would be an option, but what do you make the
default?  This all came about because people are complaining about
changing the existing default.
