Would it be a good idea to run a regular automatic make fetch
on freefall, then when other sites mirror the distfiles directory,
they'd get all the newly incorporated extras too ?

Some sites (such as the one I tape dump distfiles from once a week),
don't generally run make fetch, as the mirror host doesnt run FreeBSD,
but A-N-Other-UX-OS. Currently my distfiles/ off tape from that mirror
always seesm to have a lot more missing than just the `LEGAL'-limited
stuff, yet I know they mirror frequently.

If we did this make fetch, we'd want to avoid distributing kermit etc.
