TeX Hour: Thu 27 May: Understand + refactor TeX Live: more flexible + agile

[Jonathan Fine]

I got the TEXCOL2021 DVD today. Here are some new stats (with old stats for
context).

The conclusions I draw are:
1. Total size increased by about 10% (from 2020 to 2021).
2. texlive increased by about 10%.
3. protext increased by about 15%.
4. ctan increased by about 5%.
5. mactex decreased by about 10%.
6. The extra 0.7G gained last year is now used up.

What will happen with TEXCOL2022? I don't know! Do you? I hope we don't
replace DVD-9 by DVD-10, or spread it onto a second DVD.

TOP-LEVEL SIZES, compared to last year.
