You could ask for this, but beware of drawing wrong conclusions. Where I'm
currently working, we're fetching sources, ports and distfiles only
once, rebuild,
test, and then mirror internally to a couple of 10k machines. And I'm sure
we're not alone doing this: it's certainly not such an uncommon scenario out
there.
