That's why my eyes popped out of my eye sockets at fudcon. It's irrational
and impractical to keep permuting the distribution. Also, when can previous
releases be removed? That would be nice to know.
id like to have an archive of no longer supported releases. my calculations
were ~250gb per release with the secondary archs. We are looking at having
i386 x86_64 ppc ppc64 sparc sparc64 ia64 and alpha
the biggest issue we face right now is where do we store everything?
Seriously if anyone has contacts inside some big storage providers that could
help us get storage donated it would be really appreciated.
