Excellent point. As you say, a solution suitable for everyone.
Although for elements which are unlikely to be useful and take up a lot
of space, it could still be useful to exclude them from the mirrors.
A variation of this could be, for mirrors constrained by disk space, to
not keep as many older releases. For example, suppose releases are
every 6 months, supported for 3 years, for 6 supported releases. Some
mirrors might only keep 4 releases, or maybe 2, and still be considered
official mirrors by Mageia.
This would be workable, as long as Mageia required a reasonable minimum
of releases.
(I would say at least 2.)
Of course, Mageia would have to specify which mirrors only contained
some supported releases.
my 2 cents :)
