Several mirrors have even March 22 changes. What arch are you looking for?
i386
ibiblio doesn't have any rpmdb
kernel.org has rpmdb for March 19, but not March 22.
duke seems to have died altogether
redhat mirrors are impossible to log into this morning
{ftp,http}://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/pub/fedora/development/
has everything up to and including March 22. Ditto ia64.
Other arches are not 100% up2date though, since the current download
speed from master is not very good and if you have ~ 35GB of
constantly changing rawhide...
I think it's obvious from this that development/rawhide should be distribtuted independently from the released fredora trees. Having stable updates distribution being delayed for days because all mirrors are busy downloading contless gigabyes of development updates to architectures very few uses seems like a problem that should get some priority in fixing.
With numerous well connected mirrors as well as lots of bandwith to the master site there should be no problem creating a rock solid fast mirroring system with a little work.

of development updates in a timely fashion then it would presumably have little problem with a small
number of stable-release updates.
The problem as I understand it is with the master server(s) that supply private/prioritized access to the mirrors.
