> There would be inevitable bandwidth costs in updating like this

I don't think that's true. You could transfer only binary differences with bsdiff or something and if there are a lot of them with the same security update - you could go even farther and establish a single patch as a base and all the other patches as differences with the base (or other appropriate compression algorithm). Bandwidth should be very tiny.
