> For many reasons, that's just too big, we have folks in Europe that can't even clone the repo due to it's size.

I read that as an anecdote, a more complete sentence would be "We had a story where someone from Europe couldn't clone the whole repo on his laptop for him to use on a journey across Europe because his disk is full at the time. He has since cleared up the disk and able to clone the repo".

I don't think it points to a larger issue with Europe not being able to handle 180GB files...I surely hope so.
