The main thing is that those people are just checking.. and aren't getting
any updates so they are just as happy getting them from 8 servers or 100
servers. Yes some people may be asking for 'new' packages for those systems
but they are pretty much already all there. I don't see much bonus for
having the mirrors wanting to cover us drop because we are over 1 TB of
data in our what we want people to mirror. Especially as our disk usage may
go up with flatpacks and other image formats.
