[PureOS] Mirrors for PureOS? (was: "Re: I CAN HAZ MIRROR?")

Hi Jeremiah,

Thanks for your reply. :)  I don't disagree with anything specific in
your mail but think we should just briefly pause and zoom out here:

So, again, these are all very sensible replies & solutions and
furthermore I'm not at all against the conceptual idea of a mirror,
but I am just wondering whether introducing such infrastructure (with
all the inherent technical and support overheads) should appear to be
so high on our priority list right now? :)


Best wishes,
