It's not that useful because very few ports mirrors allow anon-cvs
access, mostly just cvsup/csup.  The last time I had to use it, I
found a mirror in Germany that worked, after a long search.

The Xorg update was a minor disaster, and it's nobody's fault.  More 
testing was needed on lots more systems and that can only really happen 
after committal.
