We actually use nomirror pretty extensively on the games team. We have |
| 9 |
quite a few mods/games that come in at over 500MB. There's even a |
| 10 |
couple at over 1GB. I can tell you that if we loosened the nomirror on |
| 11 |
those, we would need at least another 20GB of mirror space just for the |
| 12 |
added games-* distfiles. |

So how about we leave it a bit more open for interpretation? |
