Half of this growth is to blame on firmware: 107772 KiB vs. 165764 KiB.
The other half happened in /pool. (One has to subtract the size of
/pool/non-free-firmware from the overall /pool size because the
non-free-firmware packages share storage with the packages in
/firmware.)

I guess the fight for a CD sized installation image will be lost soon.
Worse is that Live ISOs with desktop went over the limit of 4 GiB,
which will exclude FAT as download filesystem, and that exceeding the
size of single layer DVD (4482 MiB) is foreseeable.


Have a nice day :)
