Ok, small flood of mail on this one...

If your favorite mirror is on this list and you don't control it,
please contact the MIRROR ADMINISTRATOR, not me...  *I* do not
control these servers! (and yes, we probably should have a
contact list, and no we don't)

If you don't see why I removed one, check the patches directory.
Compare with:
    http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html
you will see that we are up to patch 020.  Some people use mirrors
to see when new patches are out...having an FTP server stall is a
potential security problem for these people...  Also, check the
snapshots directory, the last published snapshot was 9/30 or so
before they were removed in prep for the new release.

Not that I don't like hearing from y'all, but I'm going to end up
spending all day answering e-mail on this one otherwise...

Nick.
