You are incorrectly assigning a motive to my action. If I was trying to outsmart anyone, I would like to think I'd have done a better job of it. My motive was to aid the mirrors who sync from me (I believe that there are some official mirrors that do so, since I have the DVD images and lots of bandwidth). If the CentOS maintainers wish me to refrain from such action in the future, I will of course do so.
