Remember many people mirror the whole Everything tree to do

That just means we need more granular repositories, with one
repository devoted to big lumps of optional resources like game data,
artwork (images/audio/video), artistic fonts, document templates,
cliparts, etc

Just hardlinking the file between the different repos on the server should IMHO solve most problems and avoids all the problems a separate repo would bring.

I think the point was that people who have no need for it would be mirroring it down to local repos. The disk storage space on servers is definitely a consideration, but I don't think its the biggest issue with many large data files like this; instead its the bandwidth they may incur for useless downloads just because creating a local repo is easier than parsing out the files you want and don't want.
