(I believe this approach was found to be not reliable enough and was replaced with binaries-list, which AFAIK works well.) So not all historical ".zip" or ".jar" files in the repository are binaries. That said, it is entirely possible there are some doubtful binaries in the repository, and there are (binary) icons, launchers, test data, etc. I would, however, be surprised if removing those would make the repository half the current size or less.
