Hmm, this is what I see on my box.

Quite a bit larger. In case you don't realize, the source tree is
separate from the CVS tree. The CVS tree merely contains the source
history and generates the actual -current and -stable sources.

That would be pushing it for *both* binaries and source, but should be
adequate for the CVS tree and one of -current or -stable.

I don't think that's enough to do it. The CVS tree alone would take up
most of your space.

For most things I think there is some agreement. At least I'd like to
have some of the user-land bug-fixes in NetBSD. :)

Do I see a hand there? It looks like I do, and it sure looks a lot like
Warner is willing to head the effort and *become* the contact point.
What a guy! *grin*
