I don't know about Damien, but I would perfer to avoid sourceforge.  I
become extremely edgy around 'large public CVS farms.'  Maybe it goes
back to the issue that I'm a closet control freak. =)  I think the best
thing would be to find one or two well connected machines that will
mirror every 2 to 6 hours.  And leave the official commit location at
mindrot.org.

However I will follow the 'hurd' as long as it's not off the
nearest cliff.=)
