I would like to propose we remove the subscription administrative
confirmation for mirror-list and mirror-list-d.
As best as I can tell, the primary users of these lists are Fedora
mirrors, with a few RHEL source and beta mirrors subscribed too,
though for those tracked by MirrorManager, they are all also Fedora
mirrors.
We no longer are adding new mirrors to the master mirror rsync ACLs,
and have not added anyone to the ACLs for at least a year. Therefore,
the only “benefit” an admin gets to being on mirror-list from a Red
Hat corporate perspective would be advanced notice of new bits being
staged or made available, at most 1 week advance notice.
It would simplify the process for mirror admins to sign up, and remove
an administrative duty that Adrian Reber and I have carried for
several years.
Please advise.
How about just moving the whole list to
lists.fedoraproject.org and
redirecting it from
redhat.com entirely.
Then we can deal with it entirely ourselves...
