One disadvantage other than the design/implementation work is load
on the source. Isn't ftp-master suffering a little bit even now?
What happens if all of the first-tier servers are told to do updates
at the same time?
The cron job based updates at least have the advantage of "naturally"
spreading the load on ftp-master out over time a little bit I would
think. My cron jobs running in the wee hours of the morning run at
a different time than the cron jobs running in the wee hours of the
morning in Australia. :-)
Those issues might be worked out. I don't know if it was a concern
in the other push models someone else cited.
