RE: QFE Patch
Plus isn't exactly a large file (not like messenger at 10/11Mb).

It would be nice, but not really necessary.

RE: QFE Patch
It would also complicate things too much.

Not to mention the confusion among less computer-illiterate people on what to download, on what to do or whatever.

QFE patches are only usefull in very large programs to ease some of the strain on downloadsize and only when there are only a few binary byte changes. They don't have any other usefullness...

(not to mention that, in case for Plus! and minor updates, the QFE patch will still be huge compared to the full installer update; binary compare two close related builds of Plus! and you'll see that not only some bytes have changed.)
