I understand this concern but since all official mirror owners are
on this mailing list perhaps it would be sufficient to inform everybody
about it few weeks/months in advance ? (and update howto at 
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors accordingly..)

(also: isn't RH going to release 7.X for aarch64 in the future ? ..
in that case would CentOS 7 for aarch64 be in same place as x86_64 or
in altarch ?)

Ok, so for now the only way to mirror the i686 altarch tree
is to get it over http at: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/ ?

(we are using these 32bit packages in our internal build
system, so far we mirror from buildlogs.centos.org ..
which is not very practical ..)

Thanks !
