Well, what platforms will 4.7 be released for? Just i386 and alpha, or
will there be any other? I've heard SPARC was doing pretty well.
As for the announcements, the problem is available disk space and,
possibly, rsync/cvsup rules. We don't need you telling us each time a
byte is moved to the mirrored directories, but a previous day warning
that in the next N days this, this and that will be made available, and
a gross estimate of how big that is, helps a LOT of us.
Me, I don't get caught by surprise because I do not mirror new
directories by default. What can happen is my lagging behind when
something comes out without announcement.
