If we can come up with a seamless, painless transition process, great, let's make it happen.
From the _MIRROR_-side using hardlinks should be fine enough, we'd just have to ensure that every mirror uses -H (preserve hardlinks). And for the mirrors not using -H this will just result in increased traffic and diskusage (42GB at the moment, might hurt a bit ;) ). Shouldn't be a problem though ensuring that every mirror uses -H (and I think they already do, since we already did hardlink magic when moving old releases to historical)
I guess the more complicated part will be adapting the ebuild system to look for/store the files in the new location.
