We will go with 48 images and 48 MB per image which will be 2304 MB
which for an initial layout isn't too bad.

Do the old ones need to be kept around for GPL and other compliance?
How does one get the source code of what XYZ image is and XYZ+1 image?

This is where the disk storage becomes problematic and the mirroring
harder. A lot of mirrors have a throughput of 1-5 Mb/s when combined
with all the other people trying to mirror. Rawhide already overwhelms
a bunch of them. We need to make sure that our 'update' path makes
sense so that we meet a bunch of different things and make sure that
people can actually sync.
