I answered this in person with David today.

When a secondary arch does a release that would match up to a primary
release (like "9"), The secondary arch has a full srpm tree (since
hardlinks are cheap right?).  When we shuffle this into the mirror
system, hardlinks will be made, and just the few differences will show
up.  New repodata will have to be made, but we can accomplish that.

Thoughts?
