Find somewhere to stick 'em and stick 'em there. If you don't have your own space, find someone (like me) to put them in their MASTER_SITE_LOCAL. Many of the things in MASTER_SITE_LOCAL/MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=fenner are distfiles from this kind of situation. My policy is pretty easygoing - if the easiest way to get the distfile survey to shut up is to use my MASTER_SITE_LOCAL, then I'm happy to do it.
