pretty much. no point in getting your panties in a bunch. here's a better idea: figure out something with the infra team. we havent hosted files on dev.g.o because we've felt the distfiles tree to be sufficient. since there seems to be more need now, let's find out what infra can do to help out. again, declaring policy ahead of talking to anyone else is not the way to go. -mike
