Ok, slightly different point: When etch R1 comes out people will still
install R0 and want the updates from the mirror.
Which can have a very bad effect:
In October 2005 I installed a sarge-R0-netinst.iso using a nearby mirror
for additional packages. But the security mirror was also configured,
and the updates needed endlessly (overnight, >10 hours), because
all/many users updated from the one and only security 'bottleneck' mirror.
If it will still be the case with etch, that
- there is only one (slow) security mirror AND
- important updates are held back until R1
it would be nice, to ask the user, if he really wants the security
updates 'now', or 'later'.
