Currently the repository contains bundled pip and setuptools (2 MB
total) which are updated with every release of pip and setuptools. This
increases the size of the repository by around 2 MB several times per
year. There were total 37 updates of Lib/ensurepip/_bundled, therefore
the repository contains up to 70 MB of unused blobs. The size of the
repository is 350 MB. Currently blobs takes up to 20% of the size of the
repository, but this percent will likely grow in future, because they
where added only 4 years ago.
Wouldn't be better to put them into a separate repository like Tcl/Tk
and other external binaries for Windows, and download only the recent
version?
