There are many uses for the vault, SRPMS as you said, and older ISOs+packages are useful when simulating upgrades. Both of which I've used it for in the past. -Paulson

Is there any need for more vault.centos.org http://vault.centos.org mirrors? If it's less than 2TiB I can add one for it. Just not sure if there is any point or not. -Paulson
Well, I still think than vault is like giving people a gun to shoot in their own foot : you'd be surprized how much people are directly pointing their yum config to vault, to stick to a particular version, and so letting their machine vulnerable.
At least for binary RPMS. for SRPMS, that has a reason to exist.
