Sigh. I guess you didn't bother to read the part about "third party
servers not under the control of the clamav team". This means updating
the actual edge servers is not trivial. The 'parallel infrastructure'
wasn't referring to deploying new hardware, it was referring to getting
all the same monitoring, syncing, deploying, serving, etc working with the
new name. This is fine, although slightly non-trivial given the number
of machines, even when you are the sole admins. When you're relying on
third parties donating bandwidth and space on 100s of shared servers,
it's less approachable.
But anyway, I think this is end of thread for me. If you really think
that the clamav team's time is best spent chasing up hundreds of local
admins to make changes to their rsync/webserver/etc vhost configs,
then deploying and testing all the changes necessary to make this work,
instead of working on clamav just to save a few admins a small amount
of work that they should have been doing anyway, you're welcome to your
opinion, and I won't bother you with mine any more. I just disagree.
Actually, I will thank you for actually putting forward a reasoned
argument rather than just "can't be done". Now the external factors
have been pointed out, that is "somewhat harder" than it first
appears. See, contrary to what some people may be thinking, I can be
persuaded by **reasoned** debate.
