Other important factors might include whether we'd be including page
histories and logs in the size estimate -- page history, of course, includes
every version of a page ever produced, so I'd imagine the amount of
available text would see a pretty big increase. Deleted edits (or even
media) would likewise make a pretty decent jump, I bet, but the case for
including those is a bit more slim.

But overall, the specifics on this subject are pretty far from the sort of
things I really know about.
