First, I would like to see the wiki stored as part of the SVN source
-- but I don't expect that to exceed the Axiom source code base.

Second, suppose we succeed in attracting people; I suspect that we
would have more and more branchs and more and more commits.  Frequent
commits make large depot.

no; the question I suspect is how many users do you currently estimate
for tla and darcs?  
My suspicion was that since silver is going to the the mainline, we
would have more and more people looking at it -- otherwise we don't
succeed :-)
