As a mirror operator, I'd rather reduce space by getting rid of the
ISOs.  Less disk space also would lead to less RAM needed on the
mirror servers.  Bandwidth isn't as big of deal to most me (and I
imagine most mirror operators) but hardware to support the mirror is
expensive, and any savings in disk used by a release is a positive in
my book.
