Out of interest, how big is Wikipedia now? I mean the actual InnoDB file on the master server, and all the images in the media folder - not the ones that are released to the public.
Kind regards,

Or maybe we could just outsource our large file handling to them. It'd certainly save on hard drive costs, wouldn't it?
I think that would make sense, yes. Archive.org could get API access to push new metadata records to Commons, so that the files can be referenced using standard syntax, but external URLs are used whenever they are directly pointed to.
Put it in the non-existent Wikimedia roadmap. ;-)
