This seems like a rather silly requirement for no reason. Just like one of those "hey lets only allow 10 documents open at once" features from Lotus Notes.
Why are we limiting things again? If I put all our repos on up-to-date DVD isos, how many people do you think will download them? Probably very very little.
Is there a reason to confine out size to an arbitrary number? What about Bluray or HDDVD or flash drives... maybe we should confine the size so it will fit on my 20GB iPod?
Totally agree, you just beat me to it. In addition, we are primarily network-based for pacman repos. It's very very rare to need to have the entire repos fit on one medium, and I'd say if that is a real requirement for some odd reason, you must be doing something wrong (ie. choose a subset of packages that you need, i bet it's almost nothing) -S
