Could always support both during a long term transition. New mirrors / mirrors that want it get user/pass, old mirrors can continue to use IP based ACLs. Just my thoughts though, and it's always a pain when a mirror has to change IPs to have to update that, if they each had a user/pass changing IPs doesn't matter. Also easier to code since rsync allows user/pass combinations to live in a separate file than the rsync config. - John 'Warthog9' Hawley
