  I noticed today that the root-doc-xx-noarch.rpm is 650 Mb

  And I have a copy in each arch directory of my internal mirror.

  (1) Would it make sense to introduce a noarch directory ?

   updates
           14
              i386
              x86_64
              noarch
              ...

 etc.



 That way we avoid the duplicate storage.

 (2) I also believe that hierarchy would be better head'ed by version

  fedora
         13
           release
             noarch
             i386
             x86_64
           updates
             noarch
             i386
             x86_64
           updates-testing
             ..

         14
           release
             noarch
             i386
             ...
           updates
             noarch
             i386
             ...
           updates-testing


etc ...

 Guess that matters a lot ... filters are easy either way ... but it
mirrors human view by version :-)
