If they kept a copy of every file uploaded/downloaded, ever, I can't help but feel that they would use a lot of disk space.

They're talking about how we need to switch to in-game tools (client-rc), etc. However, client-rc has no drag 'n drop. It works ... sorta. It's slower, etc. If FTP was added -- I mean, there's an FTP client for virtually every modern platform -- it just makes it easier to maintain cross-platform compatibility.
