Additional, more positive, discussion.

12:59 <maswan> or just relax the policy and let us get LE certs outselves, just 
like for all the other names
13:00 <mdeslaur> maybe we could do that if we registered a new domain name
13:01 <mdeslaur> I'll bring it up again soon
13:03 <mdeslaur> the problem is we round robin mirrors under country-specific 
domains...not sure how we would handle that
13:04 <mdeslaur> (not that I've thought about it, the people who are 
responsible for it have)
13:04 <maswan> yeah, that's why I like the mirrorbits solution for image 
downloads, it makes the mirror name much less important and you can probably 
drop *.releases.u.c. archive is another matter and will be more complicated, 
especially since those are in long-term config files
13:05 <mdeslaur> hrm, good point, may be worth separating those two and just 
doing the image downloads somehow first
13:07 <mdeslaur> there's also the issue that we don't trust half the mirrors in 
the list, so just using ssl doesn't do much to improve security
13:08 <maswan> yeah, that's another reason why I like mirrorbits serving up the 
checksum in the redirector, not relying on downloading the checksum file from 
the mirror
13:10 <mdeslaur> I need to look into that
