I'd rather not do that, as following that logic we may end up with umpteen copies of the same file. There's also the disk/bandwidth overhead of around 80 mirror sites to consider, and the fact that it implies there is a difference between the packages. > 2.

No, because that can cause significant rsync traffic as the mirrors delete the moved files, and then download them again. Moving files shouldn't be taken lightly on large mirror networks :-).

OK, look forward to it. The closest we have so far is the debian stuff of course - Raphael might be able to provide some pointers on that.
