 I had (mistakenly) filed this against infrastructure:

 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/4798

 To summarize: we'd like to run a Fedora mirror in an OpenAFS cell, but the
 drpms/ directory is far larger than the 64K slot limit in OpenAFS and, as
 a result, cannot mirror them.

 We are currently just excluding the drpms, which works, but I'd like to be
 able to mirror them if possible.

 A couple of possible fixes are mentioned in the discussion on that ticket;
 keeping fewer drpms, or organizing the drpms into alphabetical
 subdirectories instead of one giant drpms/ directory.

 How does rel-eng feel about this? Is this something that could be fixed in
 some way or should we merely continue to exclude the drpms?

 Thanks in advance.
