The BitTorrent idea in and of itself will save RHN tons of money on bandwidth and save everyone else a lot of time. I was actually quite pleased that I managed to push out almost 2 GB myself, so at least I got one more person. :-) If something like this is implemented, then the mirrors will do the work and more RHN servers are not needed at all.
Except this is a security nightmare, to try to maintain so many super secure sites. RHN servers _have_ to be secured, physically and digitally.
True. As noted above, it is not only a nightmare but an unnecessary nightmare.
