It is a PITA to go looking for them if you need them. Just because not everyone uses them does not mean No one uses them. Disk is cheap and if someone has the space to do a mirror in the first place they most likely have the space for the SRPMS. If they do not how hard is it to exclude them from an rsync job? I fail to see what you are really trying to save. You know it is trivial to exclude things. Tom
