Actually my main concern was/is the size of the source distribution and
network bandwidth rather than disk space.

I second that. I know people who even in occidental countries still have no
access to ADSL and can use only 56k modems, with unreliable connexion. For
them, 15MB is huge.

We should take care of the digital divide.

I do not see how. If I want to be a developer on [compress], I need to
be able to run the full test suite.

The best workaround I can see is to create a separate download for the
test data. This allows developers who need sources for debugging to
still get them without downloading GBs of test data.

This would be fine.

If I'm the only one who
thinks a 15MB file in svn trunk is excessive, then I'll be happy to shut
up - I'm going to need the files anyway. ;-)
