By the way, a little bit irritated I was about the large number of mirrored rules tarballs (currently 4413
ones, the oldest from Februar 2007) and the inhomogeneous and at least to me somewhat unexpected file
permissions (partly "write" flag for owner removed, partly "write" flag also for group
set, partly "execute" flag set for owner or even owner, group and other).

I too would like to clean up old unused rulesets but Kevin says this causes
some problems. I would think that if there are no DNS entries pointing to the
ruleset, it should no longer be needed and could be cleaned up from the
mirrors. Still it's only ~330 MB so not a big deal.
I had exactly the same thought, concluding with the ultimate size being too
small to stress about.
Or not, looks like a lot of the older data disappeared around 08:30
(UTC). Also, consider this a successful test of my mirror monitoring :)
It'll be interesting to see if anything goes wrong.
