Thank you, Bjoern, for breaking the silence.  I understand that the
hints are unofficial.

If it helps, we'll pull the svn.au.FreeBSD.org domain name *now* before
more people start using it.

I'm assuming this refers to the CVSup mirrors?  cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org
runs on the same machine.  It is the only local FreeBSD CVSup server
available to FreeBSD users in and around Australia and the South
Pacific: it serves between 3GB and 10GB per day, but I guess it won't
have to do that for much longer?

I look forward to seeing official policy announced soon and the new
infrastructure in place so that those of us who have been doing what we
could, and, in some cases, more than we could really afford, to help the
Project can get over it and move on.
