No. The plan is definetly to get the main archive down from currently
over 100 GB to something way more reasonable (as there are currently planned
two archs, this would mean something between 30 and 40 GB) and to get the
needed daily pulses down from currently up to 2.5 GB.

Separating ftp.d.o and scc.d.o from the beginning would make this way
more easy managable, though.
You're right that the distinction in ftp.d.o and scc.d.o has nothing to
do with release managment, for the release team only the distinction
between released and not-released arches is important, not how and where
they are mirrored.
