As a happy SA user (since more than 15 years) and animated by Dave's

If meaningful it may be added initially with a weight=1 (may be
increased later). If not that mirror will be simply removed, no problem.
I have added your mirror to the MIRRORED.BY file with a weight of 1.
Please join the sysadmins mailing list copied on this email.
By the way, a little bit irritated I was about the large number of
mirrored rules tarballs (currently 4413 ones, the oldest from Februar
2007) and the inhomogeneous and at least to me somewhat unexpected
file permissions (partly "write" flag for owner removed, partly
"write" flag also for group set, partly "execute" flag set for owner
or even owner, group and other).

I too would like to clean up old unused rulesets but Kevin says this
causes some problems. I would think that if there are no DNS entries
pointing to the ruleset, it should no longer be needed and could be
cleaned up from the mirrors. Still it's only ~330 MB so not a big deal.
The scripts that generate the rulesets set the perms. I can look at
updating the scripts to change the perms but this doesn't hurt anything
or cause a security risk,
