[..] Well, some people on this list (Jason Andrade?) have proposed some terminology, like "tier 1"-mirrors, which should carry the whole lot, and which are able to sync from ftp-master. Further there are other mirrors (tier 2 and above), which do not sync directly, but from tier 1 mirrors. I think the discussion went that way, that official mirrors (with a freebsd.org DNS entry) should carry as much as possible and should preferably be tier 1, since they can be refered to as 'official' sources (e.g. in sysinstall). But as far as I can tell, this is not enforced. Access to ftp-master and DNS entries are handled separately by different people, and mainly on a individual basis (the responsible admin decides, if the request is granted). Of course, the set of files intended to mirror will have impact on the decision, (as well as estimated service quality, like bandwidth ). Correct me if I'm wrong...
