Hi,
I think that most of the libraries that you find in the sandbox do not include the html documentation, while the compressed files in the Vault include them. I see authors that store several versions of its libraries. If Boost.Vault have problems with the space we should preserv the last version of each library and remove the old ones.

My 0.02,
Vicente
