Please note that the Board wants to see ASF-operated hardware as the
only, definitive point of distribution. Other sites are free to
*re*distribute, but the primary point should be from an ASF box.

(today, that means icarus, daedalus, or nagoya; I believe the Maven folk
have some boxen at rackspace.com; when that gets a foo.apache.org name,
and the infrastructure people assume some level of admin capability over
it, then that can be another distro point)

Maybe this statement is that you see ibibilio as temporary? Not sure how
to read it, but non-ASF-box distribution should be considered a bug to fix
asap, rather than a temporary solution. The ASF shouldn't participate or
condone actions or policies which (potentially) violate software
licenses.
