How does it give you any more control? You've got 100% control over what the static text is already, as well as when you publish the static site.
The rsync to ajax happens every couple of hours ... a *lot* faster than your new release will propogate through the mirror network :-). Most of those sync up just once a day.
You should not be maintaining a site on the zones ... just demo apps :-).

Martin Cooper hinted at infra not liking it but didn't really give me
a reason why. Mirroring for European users is the first explanation I
have heard for this. From a project perspective I think the zone is
superior. After all, we have much more control and we *don't* have to
wait for our changes to mirror (a real PITA when making a crucial
change - say to a download page during release time.)

That said, we could certainly continue on minotaur. I just don't
think the response times for Europe would make up for the complexity
of maintaining two sites (one in minotaur and one in the zone) and the
reduced control (like the occasional permissions problem.)
