I think the point was that people who have no need for it would be mirroring it 
down to local repos.  The disk storage space on servers is definitely a 
consideration, but I don't think its the biggest issue with many large data 
files like this; instead its the bandwidth they may incur for useless downloads 
just because creating a local repo is easier than parsing out the files you want 
and don't want.
