First off, most people don't want every version in the archive,
nor every architecture.

Second, the price of spinning disks is such that it makes no
sense to buy anything smaller than 4TB, which will fit all this,
and 6-8 TB are often a reasonable idea even for single users.
Package installs are generally dominated by random write speeds,
not bulk read speeds on the source media.
