 Interesting, what does this mean? Can we do something more often that
just checks for new repomd.xml files and does the checksums?

 Also given the message on the infrastructure list, could that be
related? -- Although I only saw it for about 6-8 hours (I think I saw
the first problems around 16:00, not 100% on that though.
 Everything seems to be fine now.

 *nods* ... do we know when rel-eng push new updates¹ and/or when
mirrors run rsync? My guess is even a constant 60 minutes won't be too
bad, but 6 hours could be annoying.

 Also while it won't help us right now, is it possible to get MM to
obey/use "Accept-Encoding: gzip"?


¹ The rawhide repomd.xml files have a timestamp of 5:50-6:20, I'd guess
they get pushed just after that?
