Replying to [comment:34 mikeperry]:
> Quick question while I review in more depth: How many sets of MAR files
do we expect per release? If we support incremental MARs, does that mean
that we need to keep both incremental and full MARs (for people who don't
run TBB often, and miss a couple updates)?
We get to choose whether to provide incremental MARs for the older
releases. I think Mozilla only provides incrementals for one revision
back unless they make two releases in quick succession.
> Related, at a guess does this mean each release series will require 2.5
times as much storage? or 2.1X?
See my comments here:

Using updated numbers from a recent build that we made, we estimate about
1.94 times as much space, without incremental MARs. Call it twice as
much.
