Yes, I am quite aware of it, but I am merely the messenger. Until
other subversion mirrors are made available in other parts of the
world, only the two in the US are available. I'm sure that will change
in time, but for the moment, only the two US mirrors have been
announced.
why stop a system then when the replacement is not up and running? Do
you want to kill the infrastructure to distribute FreeBSD?
Looking at it from the practical side if the replacement architecture
isn't ready yet then it sounds like this needs to be delayed until
such a time that it is.
Only having two mirrors and both in the US is not really practical,
many of us, in other parts of the globe, will suffer from stupidly
long update times; BDP would really have a bad effect on updates,
and that's assuming the two servers don't just die under the load of
everyone using them.
So again please consider delaying the switch over until a decent mirror
set is available, in order to prevent serious amounts of frustration
from your user base.
Regards
Steve
