Yes, but they don't change one iota of the documentation and other non-arch content of those packages. Which is a lot for a full installation.
i.e. provide patch packages for rebuilds at least?
and make things even more complicated ..
Once set up it just works, that's the point of having an automated build process.
also, patch packages slow down installation quite a bit for people with fast internet links..
Apparently the server I've used for the update wasn't too happy about sending me and presumably a few others some 2.2GiB in some three and a half thousand packages. It was a lot slower than usual and most of the time not getting close to the connection speed that a typical ADSL+ line would provide (16MBit/s). I'm positive that the package patching would have been quite a bit faster than that. And for when the patching would tax a slow CPU too much there is a way to tell zypper not to use them, so this can easily be avoided if necessary.
