Wasn't there an issue (that might not be CloudFront-specific) about the refresh times of files in dists/? I remember reading about something like that. > As to lock in - CloudFront is an http cache network - stop handing out > the cloudfront.debian.net URL and traffic naturally drops off; nothing > else do to. Sure, the hypothetical scenario which I'm worried about is: - there's only one CDN provider willing to support Debian, and able to meet our technical requirements - we switch everything to that CDN, and shut down our mirrors network - the CDN provider decides that, after all, it doesn't want to support Debian anymore Clearly, that's a long way from the current status, but that's something that we should keep in mind, and I was just slightly worried that it was not mentioned in Tollef's status update.
