We concluded that despite the fact that pkg.* are officially
supported names, a POLA issue has been brought to the
top of the discussion.

That is to say, that the concern is that someone may choose
pkg.eu or pkg.us-* and then become astonished if/when
that name mirror is down (precisely because we do not yet
have geodns and because the pkg.{eu,us-*} names are
currently one-to-one mappings).

So in that spirit, we move forward with only the pkg.f.o entry.
