Ok, here's another thought then.  I've been running the uk.FreeBSD.org
name space for many years.  We've currently got a handful of web, cvsup
and ftp mirrors.   We also have a number of other entries in the DNS to
handle local servers (storm.uk.freebsd.org) and local email
user at uk.freebsd.org as well as a subdomain that the UK FreeBSD user
group use.  If uk.FreeBSD.org gets sucked back into a central administration
am I going to get the same level of support for changes to the name
space as we do at the moment, or will we be forced to drop our "extra"
stuff because we're the only ones that do it?
