Blueprint changed by Ben Howard:

Whiteboard changed:
+ STATUS: Due to bug 948461, and S3 handling HTTP pipelining properly,
+ this has been postponed pending a resolution from Amazon or further
+ discussion.
+ 
+ 
  Rationale:
  S3 is a faster, more scalable technology that allows us to reduce costs and 
increase availability for EC2 users.
  
  Assumption:
    * Running on-EC2 mirrors is expensive and presents availability challenges.
    * on-EC2 mirrors have limited bandwidth and thus speeds can be affected by 
load
    * S3 has very high availability
    * S3 intra-region bandwidth is free
    * on-EC2 mirrors results in bandwidth charges when users use a mirror 
outside the availability zone
    * S3 is extremely fast. Generally speeds to S3 access are near-native
    * Amazon has asked for us to host our mirrors on S3
    * Uploads to S3 are free
