Well... people stop using that entry because it's broken and in the next re= lease you remove it. What sounds like a maintenance issue will actually save you support events. And for whatever hours that this proposed maintenance actually cost you, yo= u'll more than make up that in prevented support events. I'm talking about saving time (because we're all volunteers, right?) Let me be very explicit... > With a single entry (pkg.FreeBSD.org), we do not have to worry about > what is broken if (when) we need to change something. >=20 Let's say that the one entry doesn't do what you want (which requires trust= ing the CDN maintenance on the back-end)... You're telling me that it's more efficient to immediately defer every singl= e user to the support forums the moment there's a single hiccup in the ONE and ONLY CDN name that we're providing? Ok... but let's look at one alternative... If we listed more than one CDN, and one breaks... the wise and tenacious us= er simply ... tries another? But if there are no other choices... then you'll be headed strait to the fo= rums or mailing lists and generating what I call a "support event". I'm sorry, but I don't agree that listing only one single entry is going to= be beneficial to the end-user; only to the person that thinks having a single CDN to main= tain is going to actually save them work (which may only be true if they are not th= e ones that have to manage support events). --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
