We are working on trying to formalize a policy but unfortunately most people involved are rather busy, and nothing is set in stone yet. At the moment very actively working on getting an EU site set up and after that APAC is the next region. We are very aware that latency to APAC, and probably Australia especially more so, is an issue. How much of an issue it is, I'm not quiet sure. If people are wondering why we are working on how to do mirroring differently, please see current status: http://www.mavetju.org/unix/freebsd-mirrors/ (cvsup is stat seems broken, but FTP still shows the general picture). PS. Just because we, at least at this point, prefer not to have svn*.CC.FreeBSD.org mirrors, doesn't prevent local users / user groups etc. to have unofficial but updated mirrors. -- Simon L. B.
