We actually use nomirror pretty extensively on the games team. We have quite a few mods/games that come in at over 500MB. There's even a couple at over 1GB. I can tell you that if we loosened the nomirror on those, we would need at least another 20GB of mirror space just for the added games-* distfiles. So how about we leave it a bit more open for interpretation? -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
