If the fd.o admins are complaining about disk usage, we can take steps to 
reduce that but it's entirely irrelevant to the discussion of whether amber 
should get it's own repo. Pulling amber into a separate repo won't reduce 
disk usage. If anything, it'll slightly increase it but not by an amount 
that's likely to matter.

Let's stay focused on actual reasons that might matter, like user confusion 
(if that's actually happening).
