Comment (by parasense):

 Fact finding.
 Here are the drpms counts from recent rawhide grouped by the first
 character:
 {{{
 $ for I in {0..9} {A..Z} {a..z} ;
 do N=$(ls -1 ${I}* 2>/dev/null| wc -l) ; printf '%s %6d\n' "$I" "${N:-0}"
 ;
 done

 }}}


 However the grand total appears to only be:
 {{{
 ls -1 | wc -l
 37832
 }}}

 In f22-updates I only found ~6307 drpm files.
 Though f21-updates has ~ 26653 drpm files.

 Are you using rsync to mirror the files, and if so do you use the options
 to delete extraneous files at the destination?  Regardless I feel grouping
 the files by the first character to be an acceptable work-around. There
 really is no solution for OpenAFS because someday in the future the
 package set may grow to exceed OpenAFS limitations.
