I only raised the issue of unused or barely used packages in Community and pruning the repo. We should really be focusing on that before diverting the discussion and delving into other areas.
I know we've discussed this in IRC, but again my question is _why_ should this be the focus? Does it give us the most improvement for the least effort? Does it inconvenience users the least? Is it the cheapest? By how much? Is it the fastest? Why? Why? Why? I'm open-minded about suggestions, but need something more substantial to back them up than just saying "we should do this". Where are the numbers to support the claim? Also, it seems as though the issue of popularity/voting and the community repo might be altogether different than the issue of server resources. Are we linking the two together because of a twist of fate with timing and pkgstats coming to fruition? Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer p.s. my link for package sizes will disappear in a day, here's a better one: http://omploader.org/vd3Vx --
