And there would be a lot more than 565 people updating their old Fedora releases. The infrastructure requirements for such a project would be several orders of magnitude higher than those for your MinGW repo or my CalcForge repo. There's no way a $30/month server would be able to provide the required bandwidth, maybe not even the required storage (but the bandwidth is proportional to size * download count, both of which are several orders of magnitude higher than for a small repository, so I expect the bandwidth to be the bigger issue, as it multiplies up, whereas the storage space is only dependent on the size of the packages).
