We are already running into size constraints (on an ongoing basis) with our mirrors due to the size of the archive. Some of our mirrors have had to choose between distributing Debian and distributing other stuff -- some pick one, some pick the other, but in either case it's bad for the users. The ftpmasters believe it is not in our interest to exacerbate this situation by adding another arch before a sensible per-arch partial mirroring solution is in place. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
