I am sorry that you are disappointed with the request  others have managed 
to make sense of it and comply.

If you do not want to provide rsync access fine, but your mirror will not 
be able to be a part of beta.centos.org.

The whole point is that all the machines that are mapped on to that behave 
similarily, otherwise it would cause no end of problems for end users.
