That's kind of odd...

I just ran:

% du -sk *
168210  NetBSD-1.0
312684  NetBSD-1.1
600122  NetBSD-1.2
276716  NetBSD-1.2.1
616588  NetBSD-1.3_ALPHA
272624  NetBSD-current
2       README
2       README.export-control
613728  arch
294224  mailing-lists
34660   misc
141606  packages
952     sup

on ftp.netbsd.org, which sums to 3332118...  You guys using really big
blocks, or something?  8-)


It's worth noting that I think that some of those sets of bits (1.0
and 1.1) should be mothballed, and that it looks like there's
currently a bunch of outdated stuff in 'arch' which should go away.
("isn't there always?"  Well, yes, and once the release is done and
people start building -current snapshots, it'll fill up again.  8-)
