I've no objections, and as I mentioned earlier there are already a number of other mirrors syncing directly from me. I've got a tier2 rsync module in place already for CentOS so this would mainly be a matter of populating the username/passwords for the module and getting those shipped off to those who request access. That would get you another 4gbps (currently) and quite a bit more geographic diversity. - John 'Warthog9' Hawley
