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?
