What happens if they change their policy ? What if it gets even stricter ? Do we have to delete packages because they're acting crazy ? If a mirror hoster has stupid policies, why just don't change mirror hoster ? We can't be guarantor that every entity that mirrors debian (and there are a lot more than the official mirrors) are strictly following their local policies, especially dumb ones. Mike
