We've currently got a handful of web, cvsup and ftp mirrors. We also have a number of other entries in the DNS to handle local servers (storm.uk.freebsd.org) and local email user@uk.freebsd.org as well as a subdomain that the UK FreeBSD user group use. If uk.FreeBSD.org gets sucked back into a central administration am I going to get the same level of support for changes to the name space as we do at the moment, or will we be forced to drop our "extra" stuff because we're the only ones that do it?
