I may be new guy on the block, but I have been reading the traffic
reports/graphs, and other e-mails. Yes, this is a serious issue overall for
ASF, but we're a minor bandwidth consumer. Even so, we ARE moving to
implement mirroring, and I get the responses I've asked for, we may be one
of the first mirrored projects, not the last.
We more than "started to consider" this; I acted upon it the same day that
the original request was made.

No it does not. On a non-technical matter, a -1 is simply a vote. On a
technical matter, it is the START of a dialog that should have taken place
earlier. A veto on code should always contain the reasons for the veto in
such fashion that eventually the conflict can be resolved.
Did everyone wake up on the wrong side of their beds this week? I can't
believe that I drove 600 miles today, and am still up past 4AM replying to
all of this stuff.
For what it is worth, I exchanged e-mail with Brian discussing using James
v3 to run the Apache mail system. He raised the subject on infrastructure@.
We now have a list of requirements that will be necessary. Looks promising,
and we would all be proud of that accomplishment. One of the requests is to
support file system repositories. Seems to me that if we can patch this bug
for current users (near term), and then replace the entire file system code
with maildir that we'll be well on our way.
