«Become redundant» is not the same as being removed, though. It would initially be something we ran alongside the regular mirror network (anything else would be crazy for what I think are obvious reasons). If our experiences are then positive, we might want to stop relying on the mirror network in say, d-i, but there's not central planning committee shutting down any mirrors. Local mirrors choose whether they want to carry Debian or not, and I suspect many of them will want to use the resources for other things if the usage falls below a threshold. Whether that actually happens or not amounts to predicting the future, something I'm not going to try to do. Does that make it clearer, or is it still confusing? -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
