Earlier today FDRepo was deployed to the Official Download and Update 
Repositories on IBIBLIO.

That transition has gone very well. But, there are a few more things to work 
out.

For many years (and prior to me managing the repos), the repositories have 
provided an ISO image that 
contains the latest version of the packages in that repository. FDRepo is 
currently configured to only provide
an ISO for the 1.4 and latest repositories. Those ISO images are very large and 
obviously require a large amount 
of bandwidth to provide. 

To me, it seems like a big waste of resources. Resources we are graciously 
provided for free. 

Do we really need to keep supplying them? 

Thank you for your thoughts on this.

:-)
