Perhaps the term "difference ISO" would be more suggestive? They're a
file that tells the program "applydeltaiso" how to modify an existing
ISO file to produce a new one. Hence, "delta", a commonly used
mathematical term for "change."
They're useful when the changes are small by comparison to either
version of the ISO file itself.
On the other hand, it often takes hours for applydeltaiso to complete!
