My logs show that I have not been able to use rsync for the last week. I'm 
also aware of the earlier notice that public rsync access may be withdrawn 
at any time.  As far as I could tell, that's what happened.

It's not the end of the world.  So, you can't support rsync access.  That's 
fine, but I've also wasted a lot of MY time trying to chase down working 
mirrors, over the last couple of months; and I think that when you maintain 
a list of publicly accessible mirrors that it would certainly be COURTEOUS 
for that to contain an actual list of functioning mirrors.

Sheesh.
