Hey we've actually distributed our artifacts through amazon cloudfront
in the past (and that is where the website links redirect to).

Since the apache mirrors don't distribute signatures anyways, what is
the difference between linking to an apache mirror vs using a more
robust CDN? If people want to verify the downloads they need to go to
the apache root in either case.

Is this just a cultural thing or is there some security reason?
