The repository is the heart of the distribution mechanism. Therefore, it
would make sense to automate the updates from InterNIC into the repository,
if the method can be trusted.

It doesn't make so much sense for millions of machines to pick up the latest
file from InterNIC, except when it has been updated since the release was cut.
