Bravo to France and to Franck Laloe! As noted before in the AmSci Forum,
it just might be that France -- an exception among western nations in this
regard -- is a sufficiently centralised country to be able to manage 100%
self-archiving of its research output of 120,000 articles per year in a
centralised national archive (HAL) instead of a distributed network of
Institutional Repositories (IRs).

But what is unlikely is that France is so much of an exception that it
will be able to do it without a national self-archiving mandate. (See
HAL's growth rate in Franck's presentation and draw your own conclusion
about whether and when 100 OA is likely to be reached without a
mandate.)
The advantage of such centralisation, however, is that one national
mandate will be enough.
Here are some sentimental flashbacks:
