But I figured that if I always pull the index from an FTP site, it's
guaranteed to be up to date.  Isn't that true?  I'm never going to
install more than a small fraction of the ports, so putting the entire
tree on my site seems wasteful, especially if I have to constantly
update it.  I do have the tree on my production server, but only because
I had a lot more disk space to play with.
