Is the implementation of "UseDelta" mature in pacman ?
From 'man pacman.conf'
UseDelta
Download delta files instead of complete packages if possible. Requires
the xdelta program to be installed.
* Is this implementation mature in pacman ?
* Is it widely used by packagers and users ?
* How does it work ?

It works, but it's not really used.
