And then we'd lose normal usenet propagation. Some folks are behind
corporate firewalls and cannot access news.mozilla.org directly but must
read using their local news host or via an archiving site like deja.com (now
groups.google.com). And some overseas folks have a very slow and limited
pipe to the US but fast access to nearby news servers.
It's a trade-off that was discussed long ago, ending with the current
situation.
