The reason why we didnt is that it would involve non-trivial job, monitoring and process control tasks to run on non centos.org machines; and that's not the sort of thing that large mirror providers want to look at. Also given the very nature of how .centos.org is built up ( donated machines, with a fairly high rate of churn ) its hard to get our own gbp announces etc in place. We could potentially look at this again, maybe come up with a list of challenges and see if and how we might be able to solve them. - KB
