Maybe we could one day provide "big size" and "small size" mirror
sources. The mirrors which can only accommodate small size would then
only mirror the latest two releases and make sure not to include any
outdated distfiles whatsoever.

I'm not saying this in support of 10.5, but unless we start removing
10.6 binaries and so on, our archives will just keep growing each
year. The number of users who need the old binaries is relatively
small compared to those who need one of the latest two, so it should
be sufficient to serve those binaries from a smaller number of
mirrors.
