About the archive mirrors, some reworded thoughts from the DPL IRC channel when this came up a few days ago:
<pabs> I would suggest forwarding/bouncing this mail to the debian-mirrors list. I think the current state of affairs is fine; some CDNs in use (cloudfront.d.n), some normal mirrors, mirror.d.o/http.d.n checks all of them for freshness. Removing the mirror network won't be possible anyway, people are still going to create mirrors, especially ISPs will for their customers; due to quotas and distant mirrors being much slower. <bgupta>Not all CDNs support IPv6. I would rather expand the mirror network. There is something appealing to me about the decentralized nature of a volunteer set of mirrors. If one provider was our CDN provider, and they didn't want to keep donating the service.. that could be problematic. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
