A really rough estimate is 120KB on average* per raw tarball. So if we
consider 14000 packages and 70% of them are url-fetch, then it leads to
14k*0.7*120K= 1.2GB; which is not significant. Moreover, if we
extrapolate the numbers, between v1.0.0 and now it is 23 commits per day
modifying gnu/packages/ so 0.7*23*120K*365= 700MB per year. However,
the 120KB of metadata to re-assemble the tarball have to be compared to
the 712KB of raw compressed tarball; both about the hello package.
*based on the hello package. And it depends on the number of files in
the tarball. File stored not compressed: plain sexp.
Therefore, in addition to what to store, redundancy and availability,
one question is how to store? Git-repo? SQL database? etc.

Missing from where? The substitutes farm or SWH?
