Its got nothing to do with FOSS, its got everything to do with not putting in a situation where they have broken installs and/or not manageable machine instances. we do try quite hard, within the CentOS ecosystem, to not put people in that situation. Another way of looking at the same thing : our mirror seeding, management and release process isnt handling the 4500 or so external mirrors very well at this time. Mirror Management setup Ver3 should help with that to some level. Better education and more content available for mirror admins should also help ( we do have rather low levels of content covering that side of things in the wiki at the moment - you are most welcome to join and help ) - KB
