Yeah, this is the killer. In an ideal world, we would kill the symlinks such

to maintain these legacies. Cutting that out would diminish the rsync burden

or re-engineer CPAN as a sqlite+FTSE database, and re-engineer the
mirroring process as a database mirror via a TBD compact database diff
protocol (I have no intention of doing any of this myself; good
morning)
Well... I guess that's not going to happen then, is it?
I shouldn't even bother replying, but I wouldn't want the archives to
think that silence indicates tacit agreement.
