Maybe more scrutiny should be applied to which packages get included in
the Fedora distribution repositories. It looks like about 86 gigabytes
of what we are currently mirroring is games (not accounting for hard
linking).
So, in the short term, Modularity is going to result in an increase in
artifacts, but longer term, I think it's the solution to this problem.
Most of these games -- and particularly their large data sets -- don't
change much from release to release, but yet we rebuild and update them
in duplicate versions.
