If there is so little mirror space left, then we have a problem anyway: adding a new architecture to an existing number of ten would mean that we need approx. 10% more space, regardless of how big sid currently is. OTOH, look on the growth of package count in sid. How long does it take sid to grow by 10%? Some months? Since package growth is exponential, but adding a new architecture only proportional in required extra space, I don't really regard lack of mirror space as a valid argument. Or am I fundamentally wrong here? I really don't know anything about Debian's current financial situation, is it really so bad that we cannot afford a few more hard disks?
