It's not likely that xdelta will be removed from sorcery any time soon. We 
still hold out hope to get it's usage back into the mainstream (which is more 
liekly now that we have mirrors). It is complely reasonable for Benoit to 
want 
to keep the ISO as close to a normal functioning SMGL system. The more 
difference there is from a normal system, the more unexpected problems (both 
now and in a couple of months when something in sorcery changes) we will 
have, 
and the more difficult it is to make a new iso from an existing system (which 
I 
believe is how benoit made the 0.7 series, with a chroot).

That said, no spells currently use xdelta and no one is working on them. How 
big is glib + xdelta? 5MB? It's up to Benoit to decide. He is the one who has 
actualy made these ISOs and knows what is necessary to maintain them to 
release 
new versions. There's a reason he's lasted this long as ISO lead... I assume 
it's because he has found a good way of making ISOs and maintaining them. 
Trust 
his judgment that it's better to leave it in until it's not in sorcery 
anymore.
