Which brings me back to a previous suggestion.
I think that we should standardize the location of the trees being "supped".
I suggest that they follow the general form of freefall and put them in
/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current, etc.

If we do that, then the mirror sites can have a special distribution that
just gives them the appropriate sup control files. If the master site
changes the sup structure, the mirror sites would soon follow suit.
