If there's one universal truth about data it is that it never gets 
smaller in size :)

I'd suggest either dropping the less popular architectures like ia64 and 
sparc64 (either some or all of their releases and packages), or some or 
all of the snapshots.  development is not that important but it is also 
small and won't help in the long run.

You may want to plan for future growth since e.g. significantly more 
data will be added when 7.1 is released (within a few months).
