Based on what?  The old F11 numbers, or the supposed F12 sizes?

I don't think we can get the F11 0-day update sizes very easily.  And there
is a slight chicken/egg with F12 given that we aren't even close to doing
updates for that yet.

While I do think the mirror issue is important, I'll be honest and say the
'common sense' angle that Rex mentioned earlier is what I was after anyway.
I don't understand why we need to have 380 0-day updates of $new_crap.

Also, if it hasn't been clear thus far, the numbers and proposal I'm talking
about is scoped entirely at _stable_ updates.  The updates-testing repo can
have all the updates in it people want from my perspective.
