...and you speak for the mirror admins and their space constraints, |

This would add quite a bit of space to the mirrors. The average stage3 |
| 13 |
tarball is about 100MB. So you can assume that the packages would equal |
| 14 |
about the same. Multiply this by the number of releasing arches, and |
| 15 |
possibly even subarches, and you have an additional 1GB just from |
| 16 |
x86/ppc. |
