A downside of using a tap is that your users subsequent `brew update`s will also have to pull from your repo each time. My current `brew update` has to check 12 separate repos, and takes almost a minute to complete. As a heavy brew user, I'd prefer a packaging convention with less performance impact.

We recently shipped a new updater that parallelizes network requests. The speedup is really appreciable; I have 27 taps and `brew update` now runs under 10 seconds.

Awesome! That's great news
