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.
