It seems like people aren't keen to mirror the large tables on our mirrors, but no one's mentioned a reason for not doing so. Is there an infra reason behind that or did everyone just take my caution and run with it?

So downloading them manually is a pain (the larger tables aren't in a single zip, they're split amongst 12 files for each table), and the ebuild to do the downloading is already built. I'll include a postinst note indicating that the tables are getting stored twice, and I should even be able to give them an indication of how much space they're wasting. I'll also provide a URL they can visit if they want to download manually instead. The question then becomes, do I split the ebuild into two (giving us three ebuilds for what is otherwise a tiny package) just so some SRCs are mirror-restricted and others aren't? All of that hinges on whether our servers can handle the extra size...
