i think the total resync would only be ~600Mbytes ?  which to me is acceptable.

the more so if you post saying you are doing it and give mirror admins a chance
to manually change directory names before you make the change - maybe an hour?
the longer it is delayed, the more mirrors will have started fetching it..

it is a a simple mv command after all right ?  nothing too onerous.
