It is really "forget about everything".  And by the time you look for 
the best delta from scratch, remembering what was the best delta before 
won't give you much performance gain, plus it has nasty issues like 
making sure no delta cycles are created if you reuse an old delta, etc.

So we have either: don't try to find better delta (default), or forget
totally about old delta (--no-reuse-delta), no middle ground? That's
bad...

Or the default is try to find better delta, but reuse if better?
