6.6 GB since the last push. There are still packages missing and the EL 
repo is not populated yet.

Yes and no:

Yes:

- those 16GB from Livna include packages for EOLed Fedora releases

No:
- RPM Fusion repos per release will be bigger, as there are packages 
from dribble and freshrpms as well
- RPM Fusion supports EPEL
- RPM Fusion uses a different repo layout with release and updates repos

So I suppose RPM Fusion will exceed those 16 GB likely sooner then later.
