Not entirely so.  Net.sources is locked up around here because there are too
many people with the habit of making a copy of anything that looks interesting,
and then umpteen-thousand variations on a theme begin their indefinite existence
on the system(s).  Our sysadmin folks make a summary once a week of the stuff
which has arrived, and anything madly desired by someone around here can just
be installed in /usr/junk/bin.  After a while, stuff in 'junk' expires unless
"sponsored" by someone in the company.  All of the neat-nifties which people
want are available, but disc space is not wasted (not too much, anyway).  It
works out pretty well.
