Speaking as a former mirror person, I don't think the mirrors care that
much. The size would grow, but the traffic and churn would be about the
same, since it's nothing _new_, just slower deletion.
Not necessarily commenting on whether this whole idea is good or not,
but how hard would it be to just have the N release and updates
repositories enabled at the same time as the Rawhide repository?
