There are two cronjobs on hermes that copy data to whimsy:

listmodsubs.sh
- copies data files to whimsy.apache.org:/srv/subscriptions/

whimsy_qmail_ids.sh
- writes data to whimsy-vm4.apache.org:/srv/subscriptions/qmail.ids

It would be nice if there were no need to update these scripts when
the Whimsy VM is updated.

I propose to update whimsy_qmail_ids.sh to use the generic address.
Both scripts would then only send data to the current master server.

For testing the new server, one can just copy over the contents of
/srv/subscriptions.

When DNS is flipped, hermes would start to update the new master.

Does that make sense?
