Well, basically enough usage really means its getting used frequently 
enough to warrant using up the space for it and to warrant updating it 
on a regular basis.  i.e. if there isn't at least a couple of people 
using it, then its a waste of time, disk space and bandwidth in 
maintaining a mirror for it.

We will basically only keep recent versions though.  For example on the 
Red Hat mirror we've currently only got verion 7.3 and 8.0 os/docs/iso 
sections mirrored and updates from 7.2 upwards.  Otherwise the amount of 
disk space it utilises just blows out immensely.  So we won't be able to 
mirror everything that everyone might want, but we'll be able to do the 
more popular/mainstream stuff.  If something is small though, it has a 
higher chance of appearing on there.  Currently we are down to 10Gb free 
space on it, hence another drive is on the way, but I don't want to 
immediately fill that up either.
