I feel asking 'why' a tool behaves a certain way is an end-user question that other users of the tool can adequately explain in a lot of cases on par with 'why do I need su -l and not just su'. This type of question is very common in fedora-list and in forums and in irc. I'm not content with watching all questions about basic tool behavior being thrown into the -devel-list. If you and other people want to discuss the more general question of why mirror sync issues happen.. and what can be done to prevent them or mitigate them in the future and the resulting trade-offs of each technical approach to the problem.. then this list is far more appropriate for that sort of discussion. But that wasn't the point of the original post. Simple fact discovery of tool behavior is an end-user issue. -jef
