Perhaps you'd want to re-deltify it if we ever implement skip-deltas.
Then you'd save space without having deep deltas.
Or perhaps you'd want to re-deltify it if we ever have a working delta
combiner. Then having lots of small deltas between here and there
doesn't hurt so much.
Or both.
I don't know how important it is to have the feature, but your argument
doesn't seem to hold.
