Probably a good idea to keep it relatively small - the range was killing
me.... even using mach (virtual installs setup to handle builds for
different platforms) you still end up doing backflips through hoops to
make em all build (RH73 is especially bad as you have to rebuild the
SRPM for it and then build from that as the build dependancies are
different).

We will need to offer degrees of write access for sesame. And there
lies a nice management problem :-/

In the short term, could you make them available on your boxes by
rsync/www/ftp and I can mirror them across to sesame - thats currently
how the exim source gets onto there. You can always keep the original
location mostly secret so preserving your bandwidth.
