I'd say "about damn time" and I'm sure lots of the ftp mirror admins
would too (as I know a number have bothered me about this before :).

Yes, I'd say remove all package sets prior to the last two releases, and
keep ongoing package sets for -stable and -current.
So in essence we would have:
/pub/FreeBSD
CERT/* (keep)
branches/
[2.2-stable: move to /pub/FreeBSD-archive]
[3.0-stable: move to /pub/FreeBSD-archive]
4.0-stable
-current
development/* (minus the bits you mentioned)
ports/{i386,alpha}/
[all sets prior to 4.2R moved to /pub/FreeBSD-archive]
packages-4-stable
packages-5-current
ports/{etc..}/* (keep)
releases/
[all sets prior to 4.2R moved to /pub/FreeBSD-archive]
snapshots/*
remove, rely on releng{4,5}.freebsd.org instead.. is
there any reason to keep old snaps?
tools/*
move to /pub/FreeBSD-archive
updates/*
move to /pub/FreeBSD-archive
This should cut down the size of the average mirror to about 10-15GB.
When releases are rolled, the bits older than 2 releases should also be
moved at the same time the new bits are uploaded.
packages-4-stable is only stale because bento hasn't had a place to
upload the bits for awhile. If you give Satoshi an account on
ftp-master, I'm sure they will be updated. We've always updated the
packages-*-* bits about once a week. :)
Just some of my thoughts. :)
