If I wanted zypper/yast to save the rpm files it downloads when doing an online update, how would this be done?
Please see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293100 and vote for it.
If I am not mistaken when an update is done it just downloads a Delta correct?
Also, I don't want those saved.. If I really wanted them why wouldn't I just go to the Update Repository?
Because it may be used for more than one system -- some people have no broadband connection and don't want to re-download every patch anew.
Furthermore, some people have metered Internet connections and don't want to rsync and keep the whole archive, but only the parts that they have needed.
Just yet another reason to use smart or apt, IMHO.

So for the few that want them it is being requested that the majority that don't want them should get them?
No, all he is requesting is the OPTION to save them. Nothing would force you or anyone else to keep them if you don't want them but the OPTION to do so should be there.
If used for more then one system I would go to the update site and download, this is what I do for all my ESX Servers I run. This would almost be like saying Windows Updates should be saved on all machines then also on WSUS.

Please don't compare *anything* about Windoze as justification for imposing unilateral decisions upon anyone. His system should not be constrained by the way Microsoft does things.
