So anything which adds to that workload is a minus. With my mirror admin hat on, even if we do not accept pushes/notifications we'll gladly poll any designated upstream mirror with any frequency considered suitable by you . And we'll also host any additional repo (if needed) with any (decent) size. The Debian mirror is already larger. Much larger :)
