I would be somewhat surprised if that was really true. There are lots of ways to avoid that being an issue - CDNs and so on. 72 megs isn't a large file to ship nowadays.

By "really" true I could understand rolling them out over a few hours or a day, but usually it takes weeks for the roll out to complete. That's taking "staggered releases" rather to the limit.
