I don't know about that. I've seen binaries in ftp.gnu.org in the past.
This should indeed reduce significantly the space requirements to a bit
less than 1GB per week, considering 4 releases per week in 3 different
compression formats.
OTOH, if we're to be strict, we should publish only the deblob scripts,
for those are the ultimate sources produced by the GNU Linux-libre
project. The tarballs and diffs and deltas are just the result of
running those scripts on tarballs produced by third parties.
The scripts would be trivial to retain indefinitely; even more so
because they seldom change for stable releases.

The diff files are probably no big deal (10% increase, not an order of
magnitude like the build tarballs and debuginfo rpms). Excluding them
would probably make for more work in the upload script, though.
